It may pay to look at the airbag placement of various chassis designs. Freightliner's are large bags close to the center. A soft ride, but not much to keep from leaning.
At the opposite end you have some chassis makers who use smaller bags, and/or place the bags on the outer edge of the chassis. Some of these even come with active air systems which will quickly adjust the amount of air in the various bags to limit lean to the side in turns and aggressive handling.
There are actually differing opinions, however, on what people prefer. Different strokes for different folks, as they say. It sounds like, however, that if you ever switch your coach you may want to explore some of the other designs out there.
Finally, I'm not saying sway arms or Super Steer Motion Control units won't help -- nor am I saying they will (but some people are big fans and they are relatively cheap in the scheme of things RV). Just pointing out the differences in design philosophy which may frustrate your efforts to get exactly the ride you're after.
Good luck with everything.
