FWIW - Ford's warranty includes an initial alignment on motorhomes, because the RV makes don't do it after the build-out.
Unless things have changed in the last couple years Ford does not include an alignment as part of the warranty. Back in 1999 Ford stopped paying for alignments and alignment related problems. They do align the bare chassis before it leaves the Ford factory, but leave the responsibility for the final alignment of the completed motorhome to the body builder.
In addition almost all body builders recommend an alignment once the vehicle is loaded for travel. Here's an excerpt from page 1.2 of the 2020 Vista owners manual
Front Axle Tire Alignment
We recommend you have the front suspension and steering alignment checked and adjusted after you have fully loaded the vehicle according to your needs. Thereafter have the alignment checked periodically to maintain visibility
