Regarding heat from a 2010 Outlook's V10 engine - if the 2010 E450 Ford chassis is similar to my 2005 E450 Ford chassis:

1. On our 2005 Winnebago Itasca Spirit Class C, "someone" (Ford or Winnebago) had installed metal heat shields underneath between the exhaust pipes and the cab floor to block heat from radiating upwards onto the cab floor above.

2. The Ford air conditioning system has a setting that directs it's air flow downwards onto the driver and passenger cab floors to keep them cool. The setting of the controls is not labeled clearly as to how to do this, so I had to discover it by trial and error a few years into owning our Class C.

We do not experience hot cab floors, and engine noise is also a non-issue with us because I keep engine RPM below 4000 as much as possible on grades. When cruising down the road at 59-62 MPH, we can't hear the V10.

Remember, though, the OP is comparing it to a DP. Engine noise may be a non-issue if you're used to it, but might be a big issue versus a DP.

Plus, if you're cruising at 59-62mph, I can only assume you're on US highways and not Interstates. Moving at a with the flow of traffic on an Interstate will make engine noise more audible.
