I'm looking now since quite a while for a used RV and I noticed that Class C's that are 26 ft long (or longer) are significantly less expensive that the shorter ones that are no longer than 24 ft. ...

"As far as the comments about an E450 versus an E350 are concerned. A short and lighter weighted rig built on the heavier duty E450 chassis will have a much rougher ride. The house and contents will be punished greatly for no good reason. The E350 suspension will offer a much softer ride by comparison. We all can agree that our RV houses take a beating from poorly maintained roads around the USA. Why bounce harder unnecessarily? The brakes and everything else are good on the E350 with consideration to it's reduced load. Our rig is built on an E350 and it's all good. Ours on an E450 over time, might have the cabinets coming off the walls and breach a seam outside. Over-kill can be a killer, especially with age and miles. The original poster's lower budget will be placing him in something older, at an age where such things start to show up as it is."
I find this to be.....untrue, and totally the opposite of my experience. Our 25 ft Class C on the E450 rides incredibly smooth, and is a joy to drive. Much smoother and less tiresome to drive than my two previous gas Class A's. I specifically wanted the E450 chassis, and I am very happy with it.
Cabinets coming off the walls or the breach of an outside seam are some of my least concerns.
