Could be bad tire.

I had the same thing happen to me. I had a 1995 Dolphin on a Ford F53 chassis. Once it started oscillating it did not stop until I was almost completely stopped. It shook so bad stuff came flying out of the overhead storage. It only happened once, but that was enough. I changed the shocks and steering stabilizer. The steering stablizier is more than likely the problem as its job is to dampen any sudden movements in the steering train. I would also have a front end guy check all associated joints to make sure something has not failed or developed too much slop.

Had this on my trip to TX the belt had snapped in the front tire. Look across the tread for a hump. You might have to rotate the tire to check the whole tire. Mine was easy it landed right on top when I stopped. If that is the problem get it change ASAP and don't drive highway speed until you do.

I had my bad tire changed they checked the other one and it looked fine. Well an hour down the road it blew out at 70 mph. It started making the front end shake and by the time I finished the sentence to DW that is was shaking again it blewout.
