Not all E-350 or E-450 will handle the same. Assuming correct alignment and air pressure, etc. are done, there is no practical way to compensate for differences in the design of the motorhome itself. And they are not built the same so we shouldn’t compare as if they are.
I know there are chassis “upgrades” that can be added that help, but why are they needed in the first place? Why do some motorhomes on the same chassis handle much better than others? (rhetorical questions)
Without getting too technical, a quick visual of two very similar motorhomes show the difference their design can make. Both of these models are similar in floor plan and length but their wheelbase vary by almost two feet (22 inches). This not only affects empty weight distribution, but also affects how motorhome changes as it is loaded (given most outside storage is at tail end).
The much longer wheelbase of the 28Z compared to 28A also affects the rear overhang considerably, making location of the center of pressure relative to wheelbase different. I have no doubt these two motorhomes will drive differently, particularly in crosswinds or when trucks are passing.
Just saying that concluding that because my E-350 handles great that other E-350 should handle great also is wrong. The chassis plays a part, but what’s built on it is just as important if not more so.

Its handling characteristics are similar to those of a box truck, and I'm okay with that. I learned to drive well before rack-and-pinion steering was used on the vast majority cars, and some of those old worm-and-sector steering boxes and ridiculously soft suspensions make my Chateau feel almost sporty by comparison.
