Hellwig Rear Swaybar - E450
Hey Gang, I'm considering installing the Hellwig 7180 on my 2013 E450. The rig is 32'5" in total length. The mod is cheap by RV standards, but I'm wondering if I'd get any real bang for the buc...

These Ford chassis are sold as a heavy duty van and what happens to it after Ford makes them is not really there fault some are uhuals/rv/bus/ambulances. so the rv are at max spec or in some cases over spec I think you have to tune the suspension to compensate the frankinstien creation a MFG has done to the stock chassis.
I would say that the chassis is "tuned" as you put it, to be a vehicle that will "occasionally" get loaded to capacity, for example a box truck. Not permanently loaded to capacity like a motor home.
Ford E350/E450, Chevy 3500/4500, Mercedes Sprinter, Dodge Promaster, their offered "Motor Home" package should be equipped with the upgrades we are doing in aftermarket fashion. It would cost more to every RV buyer, but not much more. For the sake of safety alone, I feel it should be mandated by law because it isn't going to happen any other way.
