In the size range of Class C you are considering, you have to be careful about overloading and being out of balance.

I've actually observed that since about 2009-ish, carrying capacities have gone up it seams like. The GVWR on the E450 went up a little, but I think the RV makers have also lightened their bodies. Less wood. More aluminum and foam, in general.
I do agree completely about being out of balance. Some of these floor plans put all the heavy stuff on one side, like the full length slideouts with kitchen and fridge in the slideout. That could easily overload the tires on that side, even if below GVWR. Not the mention the tippy feeling when turning one direction.
