Inner wear on the front tires
Guess the Chevy platform isn't infallible after all. Have put almost 8k after buying in 2013, 6k this year alone. Definite wear on both inner sides on the front. At this rate it'll be the same as my g...

The Chevy Chassis is not known for alignment problems as the E350 Fords are,but is not unheard of. The previous owner may have abused it badly.
I just had my 2006 Chevy Based Class C in for alignment check at a well known alignment shop here, it is family owned for more than 40 years and specializes in trucks,Motorhomes large and small. I have taken all my large vehicles plus all my RVs there.
The owner asked what the problem was and I told him that it had over 96000 miles on it and it was a Previous Rental, and in the 28 page service record that I got there was no mention of an alignment or front end work. The only problem was the steering wheel was not level,off just a bit, otherwise it drove fine and there was no other problems.
We also talked about the Fords and the adjustments that Harvard has talked a lot about,and he agreed on his recommendations and that the E350 has the most problems but the Chevy does not, most of his RV alignment business comes from the Ford based E350 with less problems with the E450.
The Tech that did the work said that all the components were in fine shape and very little wear and a small adjustment to the steering and it was ready to go.
I would have a good alignment shop that is versed in truck chassis to see if the front end was damaged.
Also as j-d had mentioned you should check the the Tech Service Bulletin #07103 It has to do with the Steering Idler Arm Bracket and your RV is in the year range and may be listed. This would be something that a Chevy Truck shop would know about, I would give them a call and have it inspected.
