Regarding handling ... I'd had no bad experiences with that in our two Class C motorhomes: We've owned a 1969 ~21-22 foot Chinook on a wide-stance GMC 1-ton dually and now own a 2005 24 foot Itasca on a wide-stance Ford 1&1/4-ton E450 dually. Both handled and handle superbly, and both rode and ride superbly in their driver and passenger cab areas.
Most here who bought.them ,thought they dreadful.,unstable, slow, heavy on fuel even when on LPG, they were quickly withdrawn as they were well shy of being acceptable. I agree with your Sprinter critics, there should be a lot better alternatives than the now fairly substandard E series Vans. Ford is working on the on the heavier T550 models, that should compete with current Sprinter at least in handling and have an advatanage in towing and payload capacity
