Correct the AVIDA has much more ground clearance, than a E450 ,
OK Robert - let's quit talking around it and get to the facts. You go under the AVIDA and provide me your measurements, in inches, for: Rear axle to ground, front or rear differential low-point to ground, rear shock mounts to ground, frame distance to ground by the side entrance door, bottom of side wall distance to ground by the side entrance door, transmission pan to ground, and engine pan to ground ... and I'll do the same for the E450 chassis under our Class C.
Show me some off-road photos of where Australians take their non-expedition, everyday type, family rated, Class C motorhomes so I can see first hand how vastly superior they are to my typical, puny, everyday type, U.S. sourced, family rated, equivalent. Some of us might like to see honest photos indicating which truck chassis is better suited for where I take our RV versus where Australians are take theirs. No cheating now - weird ex-military looking motorhomes raised way up in the air and hard to get into unless one is young ... don't count.

x4 Van what PNichols calls " Boondocking" is parking off a paved or graded dirt road for a few nights. Not really done here much in a basically road based Motohome,(exceptions of course)Yes people do drive on dirt roads a lot as well. Vastly different if you are in a local Expedition based unit., then the sky's the limit and they go places that a E450 based unit including a Sportsmobile/ Quigley version cannot go,
I'll overlook your comments about where we go desert rockhounding, but your detrimental implication about where Sportsmobile/Quigley conversion vans could go to boondock camp would be real fighting words in certain forums .... better not post there. ;)
Here's an example of a 2014 V10 E350 camper van on 35's where you best not tread:
