Stiffer sway bars, which I presume yours are (otherwise why would you have replaced OEM), are designed to improve handling by minimizing lean, or body roll. However, that same stiffness doesn’t do anything towards improving a “harsh” ride. If anything, sway bars that are too stiff will make ride harshness worse. That applies to any vehicle.

On some roads it has similar effect as making springs stiffer, or increasing tire pressure. These motorhomes all require compromises, and balancing handling versus ride quality is one of them. On bad roads this becomes more of an issue.
