Just picked up my new used 2007 trek in Tampa Fl and drove it home to Miami Fl. The unit was terrible on the road at 50 to 65 mph. It swayed, wandered and darted . Any suggestions on suspension changes would be appreciated

The very first thing i would do is determine the weight of the RV and then set the tire pressures to what the tire maker chart recommends.
Over inflated tires will cause problems like you are experiencing as well as a rough ride.

The dealer (LAZY DAYS) had just installed 6 new Michelins on the coach . I will check the tires today.

Toe is set by inches, not degrees. Caster and Camber is measured in degrees. Caster will for sure cause wander problems.
