Anyway, my point was that a 4-wheel motorhome makes a lot of sense provided chassis is designed for that purpose from the start. That’s also why we are seeing so many new heavy duty electric vans that are SRW (in lieu of duallies).
My guess would be that SRW evans simply have longer range than DRW evans simply due to the extra power needed for the DRW.

I bet they also have low-rolling-resistance tires on them to eek out a few more miles too.
