You have about the ideal configuration for a Class c. Perfect size and power train in my estimation. If I were going to buy new that’s what I would go after but I refuse to spend that kind of money at my age. I don’t have that many years left to RV so it would be irresponsible of my to reduce the wife’s little nest egg. The women usually out last us it seems. Any way I’ve set a limit and it pretty well dictates what I can purchase. I did see on a 2001 spec sheet that Tioga provided an option for a 4.56 rear end on a 24 ft. E350. I would imagine it would be hard to find a used one with that gearing. I’ve seen a few short E450’s in my price range this winter but they are always 3 or 4 hours away and by the time I can catch the weather they are spoken for. Too far for a look and see in bad weather. Thanks for your post, great way to set up a rig. Makes me wonder about ford transmissions though. I don’t think anybody could be more diligent maintaining a transmission than I have been with my class A and I still lost it.
