I just bought a Thor 23u on the e450 chassis, we wanted the heavier has sis for tow, carry a motorcycle on the hitch rack, and wanted less e350 torsion bar, sway issues. Drives nice enough, had a e350 based 1998 starflyte. Good as well. I often wonder how a winnebago view would deal with severe side winds ..such a narrow stance axel width for its height.
Personally not interested in diesel technology I have no hope of being able to fix, especially In the field. I've seen a lot go wrong with rv's mine and others over the years. V10 I can fix most stuff. Old cummins, Detroit diesel suff, cat, yes.new computerized diesel? No.
Fwiw I checked out expeditors websites to see the types of van chassis holding up over 2,3,400k mikes. Ford v10, some chevies. People like the sprinter but had lots of issues around 2,230k. Nothing money won't solve but not fixable everywhere. Expeditors are small haul cargo carriers carrying sensitive, expensive or otherwise was shipped in van.
