As far as I recall, the 27.7 floorplan has never been on E-350. The smaller and lighter 24.1 can be switched back and forth from E-350 to E-450, but I seriously doubt the larger and heavier units with two slides or full-wall slide will ever be built on E-350.

Because E-350 and E-450 chassis are essentially identical with only minor differences, I suppose it’s possible some could get interchanged by mistake. Not saying they have been mixed up, just that it’s not hard to imagine it happening.
I had one of the first Vegas 24.1s in 2014 and it was in a 350 chassis. When I was full of water, fuel and supplies for a long trip (like to Alaska and back) I was right on 12,500 lbs. That did not make me comfortable on some of the rough roads in Canada and Alaska, but I felt I needed to keep my fuel and water tanks full. On the AlCan while I knew exactly where the next gas station was, it did not always have fuel when I got there. The E-450 on my 2016 Axis gives me 2000 extra lbs to work with. I would not buy another E-350 Axis or Vegas,
