E350 - Does this make any sense?
We have have had class B/small class C motorhomes for about 15 years. Our current unit is a 2006 Phoenix Cruiser 2100 (21ft) on an E350 with dual rear wheels. With the V10 (6.8L)it is rated at 18,500l...

It's nice to see a class c that's got a lot of cargo carrying capacity.
I like your idea of towing a small trailer.
I would suggest that you carefully check into tongue weights. If the frame has been extended then the the max tongue weight may be reduced from the original chassis spec. You might find that the max tongue weight will be your limiting factor vs axle ratings/gvwr/gcwr.
Also, to be complete, get the weights on the front and rear axles to ensure that the axles are not near their capacity. With a weight distribution hitch you can assume that most of the carrying will be put on the rear axles. Given that you have so much extra capacity, I doubt this will be an issue, but its nice to know where you stand going in.
Also, don't forget that the tongue weight in the TT brochure may be higher when set up for actual travel.
