Until my wife and I can retire, the long distance trips we want to take are going to have to involve alot of driving to get to our destinations. 8 hrs or more driving per day. What can we do to make...

Which Ford chassis do you have, and what are the issues ? :h
We don't have the class c yet. But I am pretty sure it will be the E450. We just want to hear what folks that own one do to make the driving experience better. Especially for long distance drives.
I have 2 Ford motor homes (3 actually - I've never driven my 30' Itasca which is on an E450 :B) one is on an E350, and the other is on an E450.Some people have had Ford handling issues, while others haven't had any, or their issues have been "fixed" by something as simple as adjusting tire pressures. Perhaps I've been lucky but neither of mine have any driving/handling issues and are quite comfortable to drive. Many on here talk of the Chevrolet having more room than the Ford, which is nice, but I'm 6'4" and weigh around 200# (had weighed 276#) and my wife is 5'8", and not what anyone would consider small, and we both have more than enough room up front. The only negative is that my wife has complained about the heat coming from the engine/doghouse on the passenger side in both vehicles. I have never felt any excessive heat on the driver's side. If it gets too hot she just gets up and goes back to the house section for a while. I probably could/should look into putting more insulation in that area, but I haven't got around to doing that. :B
