There's not all that much room for tanks under the front and sides of a Class C till you get behind the wheels. To me, the bigger transgression, more than tanks back there, is not making the wheelbase long enough to put an adequate share of weight on the front axle. Both for handling, and not overloading the rear axle.
You've weighted it, aligned it and stabilized it. We think it's front-light. Let's borrow about 500 pounds of workout weights and load them in the cab or just behind the front seats. See if it's better.
Do the math on stretching the wheelbase. How much longer can you make the wheelbase before you have to add the complexities of steering at all 4 corners? If it got to that I suspect that MH owners would be required to get driver training and an endorsement on their drivers license - especially if there's a manual override for the rear-steer at low speed to allow for over-steer at left/right turns at intersections.
