Frankly it doesn't seem any different than my grandparents E450 31ft but I'm getting tired of being pulled over! Pulled over outside of Jackson MS because the road suddenly started tossing the RV arou...

I agree with Ron's premise there is quite a bit of this could be easily fixed via calibration and not cost much at all. Stuff like OEM sway bars, shocks and springs. But it would take testing and engineering-with actual RV builds being tested. This on a platform that seems to get very little recent design time in general.
Perhaps too is most class C units are factory loaded way outside any sensible limits for CG and weight distribution..and Ford just doesn't happen to notice. Design for that and they'd be putting at least some kind of stamp of approval on it-something they don't want to do.
In general though motorhome chassis should be calibrated for typical motorhome weighting..and it isn't. In my opinion Ford's calibrations were way off for my class C. Aftermarket parts have proved very helpful.
