Good point. Jayco is paying for the front end alignment on my soon to be purchased Greyhawk. But I had to ask - it certainly wasn't volunteered.
I took the Fleetwood tour in 1996, just prior to buying my 97 30' Bounder that they put each RV on the alignment rack before it leaves the factory.
They also recommended a front end alignment at about 6 months of service, with the 'normal' load on the chassis. I did that, and took my Ford to a shop that does trucks. They have been doing truck alignments since the 50's, and learned well from their dad.
They strap down the front axle, and use 20 ton jacks to 'adjust' or bend the solid front axle until the tires are standing up straight. This allowed me to get 7 years of service out of every front set of tires, they did not wear un-even, and even the tire places said it was the best looking set of tires they ever took off a motorhome. . .
So I would recommend another alignment after about 6 months to a year, when the springs have settled down a bit, and are used to the weight that YOU have in your motorhome.
GOod luck with your new purchase! I hope that you enjoy it as much as I have enjoyed mine!
Fred.
