Sprinter 3500 AWD cut away chassis - flex?

I googled a bunch but couldn’t find anything. Anybody got a link or video of a Sprinter 3500 chassis being flexed? You see lots of MAN or DAF or Stevenson etc, but I can’t seem to find a Sprinter cut away. I’m looking at the new Sprinter based Winnibago Ekko but have questions on how flexy the frame might be. Of course, it’s a brand new product so no real world off highway tests yet. So I’m hoping a non WGO Sprinter builder has published something. Any links?

The Sprinter and Transit cab chassis both have boxed frame rails. This reduces the natural frame flex to nearly zero For those two vehicles. Any other truck or Van will have frame flex that needs compensation to about damage to a camper body.
Saying all of that, after owning a cab chassis transit for several years I can report no ill effects on my camper. Although, I believe there is some very minor twisting, but nothing that would get me concerned.
