Budb66,
First off, not that it makes a whole lot of difference here but, the kind of rig, make, model, year, chassis, engine etc. could be helpful. You see, someone reading this may have the same rig as yours and may have experienced similar circumstances. And, they may have an answer that "may" only pertain to your make/model/year etc.
So, has it been doing it long? Have you owned it when it didn't do it? What I'm getting at here is, did it just start this issue? Has anything changed lately like, new tires, hitting a large pot hole, front wheels and tires off for a brake inspections etc.?
There's lots of causes for steering wheel vibration. A tire might have lost one of its balancing weights. A section of tread may have been thrown. So, I'd maybe start there. I'd check for possible missing tire weights ( a shadow or imprint of where one used to be should or could be presented). On the rare side, a front end component may have developed some play, like a tie rod end but, not likely. Let us know if you find anything out so that others may learn, if they develop the same symptoms.

need more details could be he has those damn bags in the tire to balance it. I got a low speed vibration when I had those in my motor home.
