Before you buy anything, look at the wheelbase numbers and the total length of the coach. Many makers of gas motorhomes will use too short of chassis and end up with a coach with a huge rear overhang. Buy the coach with the shortest distance between the rear cap and the rear tires. It will handle better, without any modifications, than the coach with a long overhang.
Also look at GVWR ratings. Many manufactures build coaches on too light of chassis. A 37 ft gas motorhome should be on a minimum of a 24,000 lb chassis.
And lastly, before you do any chassis modifications, get the coach weighed and the tire pressures adjusted. Then get a few thousand miles of driving experience and you will then be able to decide if anything else is needed.
