Top heavy and off-road DONT go together.

More like 25-30 miles with at least 1/2 of that single lane where meeting another vehicle means backing up.
A high CG could be a problem for box trucks set up for shipping freight. The typical dock is 48” high so a freight truck usually has a spacer between the frame rail and the bottom of the box. This raises the box to meet the dock height and enough that the floor doesn’t need cutouts for the wheel wells. Nice for loading freight with fork trucks but not for a RV conversion. Someone could cut out the spacer, drop the box, and add wheel wells.
The far simpler method is just to buy a box truck from a moving company like UHaul or Penske. Their 10 and 12 foot trucks have a load height of 29 inches. That compares to a load height of 36 inches for a late model ˝ ton truck.
