Any guesses why Thor made the change to E450?
And, will Thor move to the E450 chassis for future builds?

My guess is that larger slide adds too much weight for the E-350 at only 12,500-pound GVWR to have adequate OCCC. The newest 24.1 floor plan which has smaller slide only has about 1,500 pounds OCCC. I’m fairly certain the 24.4, while no longer overall than 24.1, weighs a considerable amount more — hence need for E-450.
