Eric, Bear in mind that our Escapades are VERY entry level. And built before outfits like FR managed to make entry level look pretty (Sunseeker). I heard Jayco dropped Escapade because they didn't want to compete at that price point.
To their credit, Jayco now offers "J-Ride" which represents a couple upgrades. I'm not aware of very many (if any, actually!) Class C's on Ford or GM that are upgraded with things like sway bars or track bars. A few have standard air lifts and maybe a few less got helper springs.
I helped my friend and fellow OP OFDPOS install a Hellwig sway bar on the rear of his Chevy-based C (a Four Winds if I recall correctly) and he says it's been a big help.
You're right about Class A's, at least some of them. Another friend has a 24-ft (that's right - 24!) Class A on Chevy P30. Massive front sway bar. There was an OEM rear bar, too, again depending on fading memory... Still, he had CW install a Roadmaster rear sway bar and somebody's track bar. Rock steady little rig.
