Desert Captain is exactly right. I had our E450 Class C properly aligned right away. It is sooooo easy to drive. We have just returned

According to Desert Captain you should not have bought the unit because it had a handling problem right off the show room floor. That is unless you had it aligned BEFORE you took possession.
Not hardly...
If you do a proper test drive and encounter ride and handling issues it is time to address them before you plop down your $100K. They will not get better, much less go away on their own. If a simple alignment and proper tire pressures are beyond the dealers ability to perform you are at the wrong dealer.
Instead of investing thousands of dollars in after market modifications most find that PSI and proper alignment can usually solve most issues for a lot less money. Quality RV manufacturers align their coaches after construction is complete as they {and everyone else in the industry} know that it is going to be needed. Is an empty coach going to need some tweeking once you load it up? You betcha but it should have an acceptable level of ride comfort and handling at that point.
The blanket statements I keep reading here that all E-350/450's handle badly and need thousands in improvements are ridiculous. Properly set up they ride, drive and handle just fine.
