I have a 2003 e450 and am very happy with it the 2.8 is a good engine and gives good mpg if you keep to 55 to 60 mph

Whatever you buy get it checked over before purchase, know swift have a reputation for leaky vans, but so do others, our swift was fine another make not so (sorted on warranty)
good luck with your search.

Make sure that the floor is checked for damp as Swift had problems with some 2005 - 2007 Motorhomes which had a plastic covering on the underside of the ply floor which could trap damp and lead to rot. Hopefully a 2004 model will not have used this type of floor but it is worth double checking.
