It sounds like you don't have a rear sway bar. I think every motor home should have one.
My brother owns a tiny Starflyte motor home on a 1998 Ford E350 which originally did not have a rear sway bar.

After some convincing, we installed a rear heavy duty Helwig bar. He didn't know how bad it was until made better.
His Ford OEM front bar was tired with worn end-link bushings, but I could not get him to consider a heavy duty front bar. He was quick to say "All Better Now". That tired front bar is still on his rig today, likely less effective yet as things wear worse. That places more stress on the rear bar. Oh well.
