I had a Tiger for 2.5 years. We sold it so we'd have cash to renovate the house, sell, then move to WA state.
All those Sportsmobiles are built on E-350s that were upfitted to 4x4 with OEM equipment then given highly modified suspensions, skid plates, etc. They actually have kitchens, fridges, and bathrooms in them. Unfortunately, Ford quit making E-350s. They will still build one of those for you if you bring them a used vehicle to build it on. They now are building 4x4 motorhomes on Sprinter vans (which are unibody). These are a little less off road capable, but will still go 85% of the places people took the E-350s. They also build 2wd vehicles.
All the other vehicles I showed are built on stock 4x4 trucks or Jeeps with frames. Many of the vehicles' owners have started user forums similar to HST where they share info like we do here. Let me know if you want any links to user groups of manufacturer web pages.
Except for the Jeep based vehicles, the SMB E-350 vehicles are the most off-road capable.
