Carlo- I'll have to report back to the forum but you maybe on to something.

...Then got the new tires and the shop inflated them to 80 lbs and until yest I had never adjusted them otherwise. I bounced down the interstate cause of it and constantly over corrected cause of the way off tire pressure. Now I have adjusted the pressures.
Today I took it for a semi good highway drive. I thought about what you said changing tire pressure and then adjusting your driving. I too drive a very small powerful sports car.
I relaxed everytime a big truck came, I only tiny adjusted my steering wheel when I felt a rut or uneven surface and this time I had much more success.
I thinking after having such a long history of serious issues with drive quality maybe one of the biggest hurdles I have now is having more confidence that things are better. Things seemed much better after I calmed down and didn't over steer.
It maybe time to start thinking about adding true track to the mid tires. Tomorrow we leave for a 125 mile or so trip, I'm crossing my fingers and see if I'm relaxed it will go as well as it did today.
If so it maybe time for a few improvement upgrades. Otherwise I have help lined up to check it out.

Michael,

Great news so far! Yes, I'd agree that I focused too much on staying in the lane and moving over a bit for the trucks, and yes I'll admit I was nervous and tense driving the coach for the first 500-1000 miles. It was not fun. My two others vehicles that are driven regularly are a Camaro and a Mustang, and I had to "forget" those cars while drivin the GMC. I had to forget the size an width of the RV on the highway, but most of all let it wander a tiny bit without correcting, and the steering wheel will start to feel ok. It takes miles, but after the point of realizing you have been tense and overcorrecting it comes to you pretty quickly. Hopefully this WAS the problem and there are no major issues causing the vibration.
