New to motorhomes, but experienced campers, towed and camped with TTs for years.

Our Sightseer seems to have a little “lean” to the right and IMHO seems to sway and rock quite a bit.

FYI - My brother in-law owns a newer model Sightseer and the gap from his rear tires to the whelk well is 2-3” less than our 2012 Sightseer model 35J.

Thoughts
 
My first action would be to inspect the leaf spring on the sagging side for cracks (broken)! Then I would weigh each wheel for properly balanced load (front back, right left)!

Obviously not new! Check for wreck damage (frame straight)!

Any further inspection will depend on the results from inspection.

You can't compare two different RVs based on how they sit, they are different beasts!!!
 
Another variable is how the coach is loaded, consider redistributing weight in storage bays if possible.
 
You may need to up grade the suspension to get the control. The Class A’s we looked at, some were like you describe. There are options out there to upgrade and I am not a specialist on them. We have air bags on our C (rear) and works for us.
What is the difference in the suspension on your compared to your BIL?
