Yes the reps can "upgrade" you to a more expensive plan, and once its gone there is no way to get the CCU plan back. If you go get a new SIM be VERY clear with the REP that you DO NOT want them to make ANY changes to your plan.

The E450 is a lighter chassis than the Ford F53, but is the same E series basic chassis as is found under all Econoline vans so more mechanics will likely be familiar with it, than are familiar with the Ford F53 used on traditional gas class A motorhomes.

Yes, sorry I had south eastern on my mind while I was typing that

Motorhomes need to be driven to stay roadworthy, particularly so when exposed to coastal salt air, a 5th wheel is a far better choice for such a situation.

Reading back over this thread it seems like a lot of your concern of an F53 vs E450 chassis coach could be solved by taking a test drive of similar vintage coaches on each platform. Giving any specific advice beyond that is hard to do as you tell us nothing about your intended use.

Don, how about southeastern New Mexico, I spent a few days around Glenwood, NM (one gas station town) in the Gila National Forest on the way home from the Grand Canyon in 2019, nice area (there is the Glenwood catwalk nature trail nearby, google it) , there is Mogollon ghost town (not RV...

To follow up on this, I feel a long list of repairs and upgrades on an older motorhome, is likely better than a short list, as chances are due to age many of them will have needed these things repaired, it is just a question of did the owner do the work to fix them, or just decide to live with...

It may be nice, but Oklahoma as a RV vacation spot in prime tornado season just does not seem wise to me. We drove through Oklahoma on our way to Badlands NP last May and almost got caught by a Tornado at Ponca City (Tornado warning going on, streets flooding as we drove through, watching...

Note depending on the chassis there are various suspension upgrades that can be added to help with handling, these include stiffer anti sway bars, track bars, steering stabilizers, helper springs, etc.

To second what Gary said, I feel the Thor Vegas / Axis model line has some interesting designs / ergonomic choices in a small coach. Just be aware they are built on a Ford E series chassis, not the Ford F53 that all other newer class A's are built on in the last 15 years. This means they have...

I am sorry about your situation, but this exactly why we so strongly suggest inexperienced RV buyers hire a certified RV inspector before making a purchase. I also second the idea of spending some time evaluating the overall condition of the RV before you spend anymore money, if it has been...

Here are a few thoughts beyond what Mark and Gary have said: 1, B&B RV in Denver appears to have 14 day rentals with 100 mile of use per day included in mid July for a 24 ft Class C for about $5,200, still a lot, but not $7,000. (I have no affiliation with them, though have seen a few in camp...

I am a bit younger, still in my 50's and thinking through depending on how you count things, my count comes out to about 8 or 9, though I tend to keep cars for a long time, and almost always putting at least 100,000 miles on them before getting rid of them, with only a couple of exceptions, such...

We have stayed at a few commercial campgrounds with an on site restaurant of one type or another. A few include a lake front former KOA that we occasionally stop at about 120 miles west of where we live (It makes a good stop if we depart from home mid day) with a water side restaurant by the...
