My '94 Bounder (35') would porpoise, wallow, and sway in the wind and because of passing trucks. Most of that was solved by changing the shocks but I often found myself looking for an early stopping place when there was wind or too many trucks on the road.
My '02 Journey (35') is a dream to drive. I hardly know when the wind is blowing, even when it's gusting. Actually have to watch roadside trees and grasses to tell. Hardly notice when a truck passes the opposite direction. (To be fair, I do notice that my rig is pulled towards a truck passing going the same direction on a four lane freeway, but it's a mild effect).
Both rigs are Freightliner chassis.
I mention this because perhaps you just haven't run into the right rig yet? Some of them take thousands worth of add on products to reduce those effects, others, like mine, were designed in such a way that they hold the road without effort.
I know if I were in your position, I'd look at getting these airtabs for any class A I might purchase, because of the testimonials from people who say they really reduce wind effects on their RV...
