Poor quality control

Unless you have a suspension system that automatically adjusts the ride height of your coach, the load will definitely affect your alignment.
Here is what Fleetwood says about alignment:
The front suspension and steering system of this vehicle was accurately aligned at the factory before delivery to the dealership. However, after you have fully loaded the vehicle according to your personal needs, have the alignment checked and adjusted, if necessary.

I guess it is like trying to determine the exact tire pressure for your tires with the coach empty instead of loaded for travel.

I have never aligned the tires on my coach. The tires wear perfectly even through 61K miles. When I change tires every five years, the tire tread still looks like the day they installed them. I do not believe that the alignment changes when the coach is loaded. You can only put so much weight on those compartments. Maybe the tires wear even on mine because it has a I-beam with half a leaf spring and air ride on the front. It is possible that IFS could have more of an up and down movement which could cause uneven tire wear. Seems like I have read on these forums of some new coaches having problems with uneven tire wear. But it is hard for me to believe that it is caused by the load. I believe it never was adjusted right coming out of the factory.

Hmmm, my Winnebago had 9100 miles on it when I bought it and the front tires were badly worn. I put new tires on the front and had it aligned and now at 21,000 the front tires still look like new. I don't think the MH factory realigns them when they build the coach body on them.

Why in the world would you keep buying motorhomes if they simply fall completely apart when you get them?

It is truly a shame that facts and evidence keep getting in the way of people's rants.

Hey Bruce, what's up with your posts being all over the place? You only have posted 10 times, and most all are complaining about your POS motorhome, except this one:

"I had a Damon Ultrasport once, I was the biggest piece of******I have ever had,I have had 5 class A motorhomes. I now have a Monaco,It is very well built."

You wrote that one on 7-27-11, the day you signed up on this forum. So in 2011 your 2005 Monaco was very well built, but by two months later it wasn't???

On 9-21-11 you wrote this, "We bought a new Monaco class a in 2005,at 12000 miles the drive shaft broke,there was nothing in the u-joints but rust so the factory did not lube it.At the same time I noticed the front tires were wearing real bad on the inside(12k miles)The front had 1 inch of toe out,and no caster shims on the axle,caster was way off so they never bothered to align it.Should you have to align and lube a brand new 200 thousand dollar motorhome? Or did Monaco drop the ball?"

And then four years later on 9-26-15, "Why should you need to lube and align front wheels on a new monaco?"

Are we still talking about the 2005 Monaco?

bRUCE; A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO YOU POSTED
"Monaco is a good brand,but not perfect as you would think,they all have problems,but,some could be avoided. My new 2005 monaco was never aligned so tires were gone at 10 k. No caster shims,and towed out one inch.Did not lube anything,driveshaft fell out at 11 k,nothing but rust in the u joints.Bed slide broke first year,stove fell through the counter,sink fell through counter,many smaller things. "
So is 2005 a typo? is this a different coach? or a lemon?

You would think a motorhome owner would pay attention to their tires and if they were wearing unevenly they would have it checked before driving 10,000 miles and ruining the tires. In fact my DP had an alignment problem early on that I recognized with when the uneven tire wear started. I took it in an had the alignment fixed and those same tires got replaced because of age and not because of wear.

I'm guessing that Henderson's knows a little more about alignment than you do and will go with what they endorse:
Even when a coach is brand new, it’s a good idea to have the wheel alignment checked. The factory runs each coach through the wheel alignment process pretty fast—and when the coach is loaded for travel, especially an independent front suspension (IFS) coach, the alignment changes as the load changes.
