Just look at a full service RV shop and you will see highly sold accessories for improving the driving characteristics. Remember that the manufacturer is putting a big wind catching, non aerodynamic box on top of either a heavy truck or heavy van chassis. It is not a car. Our 2016 Axis did not handle well on the freeway until we added the Saf-T-Plus system, alignment (dealership never discussed this at all), Koni shock absorbers, weighed rig for proper air pressures, Sumo springs in the front. Now, pretty happy with it. Heavy winds suck no matter what you do. I have a relative with a new 32' Tiffin Allegro and he added the Sumo springs to help with the ride. You mentioned price being an issue and it probably is an issue with most in this forum. The entry level rigs will most likely need more tweaking on your part to get them where you will be happier with them in one aspect or another. It is just the way it is with these RVs.
Thanks very understandable
