Well, assuming that you want, for some reason, to have a car the length of
a bus, you're going to have some serious problems with traffic bumps
unless you have significant ground clearance. That's the case even when
you extend a Caddy. 

Also, given the sort of interior these things have, which seems to be
geared to "party on wheels", complete with a bar and couches and TVs and
whatnot, not to mention what is essentially a corridor that runs the
length of it, the closer you can get to standing up height inside the
better.

You could always have an extra step that extends when the door opens, like
on campervans, trains, and things like that.
