Heh, no, 4000 rpm definitely not needed in Elkhart. But since there doesn't seem to be anything resembling the Bitterroot Mountains out there, I had to push it beyond what was required in order to get a feel for what it will be like in real use. Even at 3000 we started to talk about the noise. As the old threads on this topic seem to note, it may be louder for the copilot. For me, the noise was the least impactful issue, it was the arm room that really did it for me. For the Mrs, it was leg room #1 and engine noise #2.
And just to be clear, I'm definitely not saying the E450 would be unsuitable for anyone else. Just my own experience. For us, the extra inches of exterior length in the 4500 would be worth it. We probably should try one or two other E450 based models before entirely removing it from consideration. My main point is that as a newb, I didn't even realize there was such a difference.
