Wrong. Check the GVW and the GCVW differences between an E350 and E450. I've also got copies of the build sheet originally completed for an E450, the sales brochure, and a copy of their website advertising which all stated specifically E450 and GCVW of 22,000. An E350 GCVW is on 18,500 and when you factor in the weight of the basic motorhome you are pushing the limits of the GVW of 12,500 on an E350 as compared to 14,000 on an E450. I did my homework for a year before ordering our unit. I'd have filed a lawsuit but one I don't have the money to buy another RV while this one is surrendered while in litigation and two I don't have the health to miss out on traveling while I'm still able to.
