Before the internet I had a 33 foot RV, was very stressful to drive, horrible actually. Turns out it was the wheelbase to length ratio, **** design, no fixing it. Would assume that too much weight in rear would do same thing.
Tire pressure over the load and inflation tables can also cause instability. Running pressures at what is indicated as max pressure on sidewalls is referred to as riding on bowling balls.
So there I was, over inflated tires, worn steering components, too short a wheelbase towing a van. Lucky to still be alive, sold the thing is less than a year.
