PNicols the E450 lacks so many attributes of the IVECO, and you certainly would not be driving it in the Outback:? It is like comparing a Ranger ( E450) to a F350( IVECODaily)by the way the GAWR of the Daily is greater than the E450
You can happily have your love affair with the E450, we will not take it away from you, but Ford might
Slow driving here would either you end up being fined or in an accident
We've gone around on this before and the result is always the same. My Class C is not a "near expedition, or military type , or rock crawler type RV" as you seem to show in some photos.
Ours is a reliable and rugged "small U.S. family Class C" that just happens to have pretty good non-4X4 ground clearance, a 500+ mile travel range, pretty good sized facility tanks and inside/outside storage, and a chassis with components way beyond strong enough to carry the weight it has to carry reliably mile after mile. Speaking of chassis overkill, in over 71K miles our front brake pads have never needed to be replaced because they're too large for what our RV's weight requires. Oh ... and as you know our Ford E-Series van has around 305 smooth 10 cylinder horsepower to do what it does, too.

Here's a photo of a Ford camper van that I'm pretty sure could go anyplace in your neck of the woods that an IVECO camper could go:
