wind
Just bought class c motorhome Leperchaun 27foot total. 2019 So driving in wind seems like a much harder job than towing a 5th wheel which we have also owned or a bumper pull. Is this just something ...

So does my Ford E450 based Class C handle very well - and it did right from the dealer when brand new with no modifications.
However, our Class C is only a 24 footer. I'm thinking that it's the longer Class C motorhomes that may experience poor handling without modifications.
So if my caster theory holds water your 24 footer sitting on 4 wheels would be in the range of nose level to nose up?
My 2005 24V Itasca Class C sits about level - or ever so slightly higher in the rear (maybe 1/2" to 1" higher by eyeball ... never measured it).
My previous maintenance shop did recommend some type of "tapered shim" on each side in the front suspension system several years ago, and I went ahead and let the shop install them. The MH handled fine before the shims and no different with the shims. Those "shims" just might be what you have recommend for quite some time to correct caster(?), and if so I guess that I have had that adjustment in my E450's front suspension for several years now.
I feel that my 24 foot Class C's excellent handling is basically due to having a chassis under the coach that is overkill for the weight of the coach ... IAW, "a somewhat lightly loaded E450".
