Wheel alignment on new motor home

We're in the process of buying a Newmar Bay Star 2903. Dealer says not necessary to do a wheel alignment, but I've heard otherwise. Would appreciate suggestions from forum members. Thanks!!
  • I did not like the way my Newmar drove when it was new. Had an allignment done and drove totally different and like I thought it should.
  • Good idea to load it as you will be using it, weigh it so you can accurately set tire pressures and THEN have an alignment done. Get a "before and after" print out and have them set caster toward the high end of spec. That will help with tracking.
  • The chassis are "aligned" at the factory with no weight. Once the body is added, and, have some water in rig about 1/2 tank, your gear have the rig weighed and then aligned.
