My wife and I are about your ages and retired last year. We bought a Freedom Elite 26HE which I think is virtually identical your new coach. We've not got a lot of miles on ours either. I read somewhere that Thor "normally" would have built this size of coach on the E350 chassis but has been unable because Ford had some sort of an emissions certification issue with them. Thus they are using the 450 with its heavier weight rating. Don't know if that's true but in any case I am glad to have the higher GVWR. I'm having mine weighed and aligned this week. I'm pretty confident that I'm still under my weight limit but probably not by much. So far I've been pleased with how mine drives and rides. Good luck with your new vehicle!
