I have done all other possible modifications, except Sumo springs in the back. I might put those in or air bags, to push some of the weight towards the front.

It doesn't quite work that way. Installing air bags or Sumos in back may lift the rear, but it won't push weight forward appreciably. You may get a couple of percent due to new motorhome angle shifting Cg forward a tiny amount, but that's about it.
Also, when you have springs working in parallel, combined they become stiffer in total. That should make ride firmer/harsher and not softer.
I wish there was a simple solution for you, but I don't know of one.
