Snowman 9000,
Of coarse you'll want your rig to handle properly when you are loaded up on vacation with your precious cargo, rather than running around town empty. You are on-track to get it figured out.
If you conclude that you need to take next steps, J-D was "On The Money" with his inputs I included below. You know so well that he and I support the use of heavy duty sway bars on our Fords. We are assuming the Chevy will benefit the same. I am not sure Hellwig and Roadmaster sell heavy duty sway bars for the Chevy/GM chassis. I also wonder how the stock Chevy front & rear sway bars compare dimensionally and bushing type, rubber or polymer.
You are the first person in the 7 years I've been on this forum who mentioned a sway problem on their Chevy chassis. Either you have a unique problem or nobody else with a Chevy wants to discuss it.

We replaced our skinny OEM sway bars with much larger Hellwig bars and the changes were only for the better. In theory there can be "too much sway bar" but I believe it pertains to cars and racing, and there is no practical limit for motorhomes. Being as they are very high, making them topheavy, and not driven to extremes.
Does it sway when parked on a campsite and people are moving around? You'll always feel movement in a Class C but if it wallows like it's driving on the road, stiffer sway bars will help greatly.
