Here is what I did, , and I did it one change at a time!
I am now at the point that I can steer the thing with one hand, even when semis pass me! However, the ride over bad road sections is still harsh (I will be working on this over the coming summer).
What I have done so far on my unit, Koni shocks, Steer Safe steering help, CHF in the front and the rear, rear track bar (Tiger Track from Blue Ox), and Sumo Maxim springs in the front. I am still debating if it is worth the while to put Sumo's in the back.
All in all, I thinks the handling of my motorhome is as good as it gets for a unit with the 190 wheelbase. Once I have the harsh ride eliminated, it should handle and drive like the bigger cars of the 80's (Ford Crown Victoria, Chevy Caprice, etc.). It will never be a sports car, but I do not expect this from a truck/school bus chassis, but it should be a pretty comfortable to drive cruiser with it's own bathroom and bed in the back!
But I also have to say that my son is doing all the modifications, and he is a master mechanic at the largest Ford dealer in the state. He has all the tools and knowledge, to do those things.
Making the ride softer might require changing the springs in the front to types with softer spring rating. By the end of the year, I will know more about what works, and what doesn't!
