Interesting. I have a 31' Winnebago and with our 4,300lb Exlporer I have never felt this. Only on long hills do I have any indication it's back there. Curiously, I do have Hellwig bars and Koni shocks, I wonder if that's the difference.
Likely its a function of wheelbase ratio. Most the "29-foot" models have a 202-208" wheelbase it seems. The 31-footers have a 220"+ wheelbase, so the longer coaches gain it mostly in wheelbase, making them more stable, especially if something is pushing on the hitch. But things like steering caster (both the RV and the toad) and even tire pressure affect it.
My 29 footer is 29'8" with 190 inch wheelbase, so anything attached to the hitch has lots of leverage.
