Goufgaters, you should get a number of comments from the C group but, since you have a Class C instead of an A and since you posted here too, I'll throw in my experience. We owned a Winnebago Aspect 23D for over 10 years and worked on the handling characteristics considerably. It sounds like you've tried a number of "fist things" like air pressure and alignment. Unfortunately, getting an alignment shop to take your caster to 5+ degrees (I assume you told them 5 degrees caster-not toe) is critical in getting the E-series van chassis to handle. It is not a difficult procedure for a shop to do if they are willing to use an adjustable caster bushing. This is not a standard Ford item so perhaps, that is why they were reluctant but, my suggestion is to find a shop who will do the alignment you request. I also put an additional 1/8" of positive toe and close to zero camber on our E-450. Those settings for me provided the best result in our situation.
The Ingalls bushing (and others available at NAPA, Autozone, etc) make this job simple.
Unless you get the caster where almost all who have worked with the E-series chassis in a motorhome environment suggest, you will be chasing handling with fixes that will have minimal impact in my opinion.
