Caster DOES affect tire wear. When you turn the wheels the tire and wheel assemble will roll over on it side. You will get excessive wear on the both sides of the front tires. If you ever have a chance, watch the front tires of a class A fuel dragster. You can see the effects of extreme, excessive caster. I run about 7° caster on the front of my 95 F53 and you can see the wear.

Probably so but the advantage in handling is well worth the minimal wear. AND, in the life of an RV tire, it will age out before it wears out; unless there is some other contributing factor.
Concur ! Regular tire rotation will help minimize shoulder wear.
Also motorhomes see very little "urban" driving with a large number of corners.
