Air helper springs are good; I'm entirely satisfied with the ride-rite ones installed by Coachmen on my class C as a factory option. I think they help give a stable ride, and certainly do help keep the ride height at an appropriately good level.
However, as others have said, while they certainly could compensate for side-to-side lean, it would be much better to cure that at the source. If you're reasonably close to balanced weight wise, a significant lean suggests some suspension problem or adjustment to be fixed. If the weight is significantly unbalanced, figuring how to fix that (maybe by redistributing some of your own stuff) would be a good idea.
Does the factory RV weight sticker give individual wheel weights from the factory? I think mine does. That at least gives a starting point for comparison.
