Sound insulation is not something directly associated with the chassis. The house builder installs so as azdryheat posted how much and if any will be dependant on the make and model coach you might be looking at.

In general larger tires will help with ride comfort but don't expect to get a ride where you can cut diamonds while sitting at the dinette while driving over cobblestones (1970's Lincoln Continental TV commercials).

I don't think there has been a change in the sway bars since the turn of the century.
