Hey there, Mark!
That sounds like a neat setup for towing with your RV. While I can't say for certain without getting a good look at your specific E-450, you're on the right track with M12 being the likely diameter.
Now, the thread pitch on those ABS lines can be a bit tricky. It's not uncommon for Ford to use a few different options on similar models, and without the exact info from a manual or looking at the line itself, it's tough to pinpoint the exact 1.0, 1.25, or 1.5.
Here's what I'd recommend:
1.) Check the Haynes or Chilton manual for your E-450. They usually have detailed specs like thread pitch for brake lines.
2.) If you're not comfortable with manuals, swing by a local parts store. They might have a catalog or resource to look it up for you based on your VIN.
3.) Lastly, the absolute safest bet is to get a good look at the existing brake line going into the ABS module. You should be able to see the thread pattern.
Just be sure not to loosen anything unless you're ready to replace the line entirely.
Remember, messing with brake lines requires caution. If you're not 100% confident after checking those options, don't hesitate to take it to a trusted mechanic to make sure everything is buttoned up right. Happy towing!
