Seats, seats, and seats. Some vehicles I am fatigued at 3 hours and some I can drive a full tank without stopping. Remember, cushy doesn't always mean comfortable. Support in the right places is king. Adjustability is also a big plus.
The lateral stability in my Sprinter RV is better than my previous E350 based RV. I suspect when Ford gets around to a heavy duty Transit cutaway folks will see similar improvements in stability. The E series front suspension is prone to bump steer so when it rocks you get a steering input whether you like it or not. That causes the driver to have to make an input to correct for it. You can read on the forums all the read on this forum all the methods used to tame E series vans. It can be done.
