I have a 2014 Coachmen Freelander 28QB on a CHEVY chassis, which is totally different than your Ford. That said, the story may be the same.
When I bought this RV new, It had TERRIBLE bouncing or porpusing of the front end over "dippy" or roller coaster roads. On one road near us, the front wheels would actually come off the ground.
Within the first month, I changed the front shocks to Bilsteins and had the front end aligned at a Chevy Truck dealer. I changed the shocks myself.
The cost was $200 for the shocks and $200 for the alignment, but the results were worth THOUSANDS!!!
This is our 3rd Class C and this one has the best ride and road handling of any of them.
Remember also that even if you have rear air bags (as I do) UNLESS they actually raise the rear end up when you inflate them, they are NOT doing anything and adding air if you don't actually NEED to may make things worse.
