Reflections on 6 Months of RV Research! ;)
Hi Class C Forum, I caught the RV bug about 6 months ago after a particularly stressful stretch at work. Researching RVs has become the way that I decompress when I have some discretionary time. Cu...

In recent years, Ford has made the E350 more E450-like. 5000# front axle, larger fuel tank, rear sway bar (which like E450 isn't big enough), and I believe the widened the rear track and possibly added hydro-boost brakes. It still is not an E450 since the rear axle rating isn't as high, and the frame is less robust. Still, in things like rear axle track, they've become similar. There's a Ford site that tracks changes by model year.
Promaster - be careful of this one. We've had a case here where all the frame stretching was behind the rear axle. Axle overloaded and near no carrying capacity. Remember it's only single rear wheels with front drive. Not at all sure RV's should be built on Promaster, unless maybe the frame doesn't need to be extended.
