Designed to improve stability?

We've seen quite a few new Ford Transit Class B+ and C motorhomes lately, but this one stands out as the first I've noticed on the longest 178-inch wheelbase. All others I can recall were on 156-inch wheelbase chassis. It's a little longer than most with a shorter rear overhang by comparison.

It's reportedly just under 10-feet high so combined with longer wheelbase I'd expect it to drive better than its competition on the highway. It also makes it look nice and sporty to me.

Obviously there is a lot of compromise in any design, but I'm hopeful that manufacturers will start addressing stability and handling from the onset, and not leave it to buyers to fix deficiencies. Or is that wishful thinking?
