In my book the E550 pictured places a motor home into a "Super-C" category....so much more heavy duty than an E450. I thought it was a great platform for the over-30-foot range.
Well ... there may have been one specialized use of the E550 chassis ... and that use is similar to what I see in the expedition vehicle forums: The E550 would have made a good chassis underneath a small 2WD or 4WD rough surface Class B/B+/C motorhome.
The extra cargo carrying capacity of the E550 would have permitted heavier water tanks, grey tanks, black tanks, propane tanks, and battery storage compartments - in a small footprint compact motorhome. The ride in the front of the E550 was probably pretty rough, though, because I think that the front springs were leaf springs.
