Well not to keep this topic alive but I just got back from my trip. About 80-90 miles each way.
I tried my best to relax, clam down and just drive. However I'm still pretty sure my coach needs a professionals touch.
Relaxing helped a lot. So did lower tire pressure. I adjusted our load so it was much more evenly placed inside. But theres something wrong there. Its a few different problems.
Hwy Speeds under 45 it seems pretty darn good. In fact I went down a SUPER CURVEY mountain road at 10-30 mph like a champ. Of course it was off the hwy.
Hwy Speeds over 45-55 "OK, fair I'd say, the slower the better"
Hwy Speeds over 60 not so great. Many Big trucks still blow me off the road. Like someone takes their arm and pushes the coach out of the way. Then it feels like I'm going to sway really bad. Calming down helps me not oversteer but it can be a little scary.
It seems to catch every rut and uneven road surface on many parts of the interstate. I know I'm a walking contradiction but sometimes when the road isn't bad and no big trucks are pushing me it drives at 60 mph fine. Not one handed car like driving but not bad.
Its almost like if you can keep the coach steady it drives fine but one false move and you got to correct it.
A member on the forum said they'd help me look at it. I'm going to take him up on it since I'd feel way better knowing someone that knows these will be helping me. This was our first full trip with no problems except for one leaky pipe and this suspension issue which at least with calming down allowed us to stay on the hwy.
