I have a 2007 new shape 2.3 fiat based 7mt 6 berth lunar and after 2 years of traveling to Germany, Austria and Italy along with dozens of UK trips i have never had any problems.
My Brother in law has smaller van with the older 2.8.
On hills anyway he has a job keeping up with my larger heavier outfit.
I do have the judder and i have to reverse up a hill every time i take my Motorhome out but after 35years of driving all you need is common senses and correct pedal control to stop the judder.
Don't knock the fiat i sometimes drive the rear wheel drive Mercedes van at work ,
i used to dream of buying a Mercedes based Motorhome.
But after driving it in heavy rain or snow when the back end twitches or i was unable to crawl up a small snow covered hill when other vans came and went.
i thanked myself for buying a front wheel drive fiat Ducato,
So don't knock a Fiat until you drive one.
