Thanks for all the input. I neglected to mention that this is a Chevy 450 chassis.
I think I will get weights with a full tank of water and a decent amount of stuff in it, then add in for passengers and their stuff distributed pretty evenly. Then find the inflation tables for the tires, if possible and set it right. Then evaluate the need for other stuff.

This the best part of your post.being on a Chevy Chassis it will ride better than one on a Ford Chassis. The ride is much softer and when you get it weighed fully loaded with everything you will have on a trip then get the proper inflation you should be ready to go.

I know on my Chevy based Class C that made a lot of difference in the ride. using the Michelin Inflation Chart I adjusted my tire inflation to the recommended PSI for the weight on each axle. In my case it came out to 55psi front and 65 psi rear Rides very smooth also a set of Bilstein Shocks front and rear,my original ones at 97000 miles were worn out.

As for the alignment,the Chevy based ones have very little trouble as do the ones on the Ford Chassis. At 97000 miles I had my whole front suspension checked out by a Alignment service that specializes in Truck and heavy duty chassis.They found nothing wrong and made no adjustments.
