Hi luberhill,

I would say his asking price is a bit much. But remember it is his "ASKING" price, not his selling price. If it's right for you, go test drive it and look it over good. If all is great except the price, offer him $25,000 cash and see what happens.

If that chassis is an E350, it is the same chassis as mine. It is a great chassis with an excellent drive train. Just pay attention to the weight of the house and contents.

The only issue with the E350 chassis made up to and including model year 2007, will be the lack of a rear stabilizer bar. Ford never equipped the E350 with one until 2008. A new heavy duty Helwig rear stabilizer bar will cost less than $300. Installation will be about half that. But just maybe the current owner already installed one. That is a question worth asking.

Installation is easy for a novice who can handle a wrench and is able to crawl under the unit. No need to jack it up to install the bar. Work with the rig parked on the ground. My brother and I laying on cardboard installed one on his 1998 E350 motor home and we were surprised how easy it was. My brother was shocked as to the improvement that heavy duty bar made.

If you want to get the rig to handle better yet, replace the under-rated front stabilizer bar with a front heavy duty Helwig bar. Budget ~$500 for both bars, install them yourself, and you will have one sweet riding rig.

On my rig, I hired out many suspension upgrades at a time I lacked the knowledge. Now I know what is needed and what I can handle myself.
