Ok, this is a quick thing to try, and I will be amazed if you are not amazed. Zero toe in gives great steer tire wear, but it will make the coach hunt like a coon dog.

Set the toe in at 2/32. If you don't like it, it is easily set back to zero. If you think that's a lot, I looked up Prevost specs once, they say 1/8 to 1/4.

If you don't know how to do this yourself, let me know, and I will walk you through it. It's an hour project at best.

All of the coaches I have had handled a little worse while towing a car. They are more sensitive to oversteering with a tail wagging back there.

I know exactly what you mean about the steering box being too tight. It is really hard to distinquish that driving sympton from it being too loose.
