I've been very happy with Sumitomo's.
You can also use 275/70R22.5 that clock at 549 revs/mile. It is a wider tire so side clearance and dual spacing needs to be checked.
I replaced xrv 255x80x22.5 with Sumitomo 727 tires in the 275/70R22.5 size and went up one load range.
Before buying new tires would be the ideal time to load that coach for travel with full fuel/water and get wheel weights to see if the current tires are really optimal for the actual weights.
