Freightliner 300 FRED Handling vs Ford E450

We currently have a 27-foot 2007 class-C Ford E450 motorhome, pulling a Honda CRV.

The Ford chassis really needed a LOT of upgrades to drive well.
We added:
* heavy-duty sway bars on the front and rear,
* air-bags on the front and rear
* a rear trac-bar
* front steering stabilizer
* custom high-caster alignment
* Koni FSD shock absorbers

The result is a motorhome that is incredibly easy to drive. We have almost no sway, pull, push, etc. Even towing, it's about as easy to drive as our Dodge Caravan. All of the upgrades were worth every penny. Even extended 8-hour hauls are a breeze.

MY QUESTION:

We are looking at a used Tiffin Allegro on a Freightliner/Cummins 300 platform. Does this platforms require any significant after-market upgrades to be easily drivable? Or are they pretty useable as-is?

I don't mind doing whatever upgrades I need to do to make my coach safe and easy to drive, but I'd like to know if there are any drivers out there who can clue me in.

As always, thanks so much.
