The problem with most RV's is that they do not have enough cargo capacity once the fresh water tank and fuel are full.
I would still pick the E-450 to get the additional cargo rating. It would mean if you upgrade to a 5,500 pound cargo trailer with a 600 - 750 pound hitch weight will be no problem.
