The motor home package deletes some things like carpet and seats, and adds other things like power windows & door locks and chrome front grille work. There is a lot more to it but you get the idea.

The Ford E350 version of our Phoenix Cruiser fit in our garage, but not the E450 for it stands 3" taller. Our rig clears our garage door opening by 1 to 2 inches. It's dang close when our rig is empty.
