I did the Cheap Handling Fix front and rear to stiffen the sway control. There is a huge thread on IRV2.com on this topic. It involves stiffening the sway by using the inner holes on the sway bars at minimal cost. What material cost there can be involves if you want to change the links to maintain the existing sway bar geometry or not.
I added a Super Steer 400 rear track bar to my Vista 27N so the rear axle and wheels can't shift side to side on the leaf springs as can occur with the OEM setup. This improves handling some too.
I added devices called AirTabs to the side walls and roof on the back edges, they are vortex generators that smooth and shape the airflow around the back of the Vista. Minimal gas mileage improvement but provide noticable handling improvement. AirTabs.com for more information.
Finally, make sure your rear sway bar is doing it's job that the brackets are still securely bolted to the axle, those bracket bolts can work loose and even fall off causing loss of sway control. You might even want to remove the 4 bolts and reinstall with locktite to make sure they don't fall out.
