No, 16 inch rim on the E350/450 base units (Class C/Vegas/Axis). Then the 19.5 on the Ace/Hurricane/ Then 22.5 on the larger units (Challengers etc.).

The small rim IMO has two advantages - Lighter to manhandle if your a do it yourself like me (change flats or brake job), and cheaper cost per a tire

But lowers the ride height - which is good and bad - should handle better being lower? I know my Axis handles good (but thats after my swaybar/track arm/Saftey steer mods).

Should have better MPG? (Debatable). Bad because you might hit something on road or off road in rugged campsite? So far not a problem for me but I can see where it could be for some folks.

But the say the larger diameters hanle rough roads better (Smoother).

Just pick the RV you like the best, Never pay sticker price (Try to get 30 - 40 % off of sticker) and enjoy.
