I know the E350/E450 are unstable at best on a highway., so how does you packing items at the bottom of the RV improve the handling? i.e even against a Sprinter, another Box on wheels.
Im sorry your rental did not handle well. The vast majority of E350/450 rigs handle just fine on the road. The ones that don't usually are either worn out (rentals) or were not built to Ford specs, primarily keeping adequate weight on the front axle due to a short wheelbase, or overloading the rear axle.
I've driven class Cs that handle as good as some pickups. I've also driven box trucks that will out-handle many family cars!
I've also seen Sprinter RVs struggle to stay on the road while driving through the Columbia River Gorge, where strong winds are the norm rather than the exception. The narrow track width does not favors when you're being hit with 60 MPH side-gusts.
