Ford f350 vs f450

Hi all, I have two rv's in mind to buy. One has the 350 chassis and the other the 450. Both are small class c units... Should either chassis be a factor in my decision? Not sure what the differences are Thanks. Doug

Main difference , will be in the unit's Cargo Carrying Capacity.
There should be a manufacturers weight info sheet in the coach that lists CCC, the weight the chassis can carry ( cargo ) and GCWR, that will tell you how much trailer ( toad ) weight the chassis can handle.
As " Racing " says " more is better. "

I'd go with the 450.

And since these are van cut-away chassis, they are E350 and E450.
