Your comment reminded me of the Vixen, or the "Porsche" of motorhomes as it was advertised about 30 years ago.
The first one I saw was driving over Independence Pass and was flying through curves -- by motorhome standards. I would love to drive one just to see how it handles. With low profile, wide stance, and wheels near each corner with independent suspension all around, it should beat most of today's truck-based MH offerings.
Granted it was way too small to be successful in the marketplace, but shows what a clean-sheet design can accomplish. I've often wondered how it would have turned out if made larger; like 25~30 feet long.
Notice during road test that it leaned a fair amount when pushed hard through corners, not unlike many cars. Obviously picture can't be compared to modern tall MHs because they'd likely flip over first.
