Wheel balance/alignment under warranty?
We have a 2014 Newmar Baystar that is still under warranty. Rear wheels need balance- vibration at 50mph and wear on outside edge of front right tire. Does Ford or Newmar cover this?

I think it's absurd that MH manufacturers or dealers are not required to do an alignment when it leaves the factory. If you buy any other vehicle, it's required as part of safety specs. I get that loading may affect this a little, but not to do it at all?
They ARE aligned when the Motorhome comes out of Final Finish. I am not aware of any OEM Motorhome maker that does not align the Motorhome after it is produced and before it is shipped to the dealer. Some OEM's even put the Alignment spec sheet in the owners packet. Also, regardless of being aligned, that Motorhome is then driven hundreds/thousands of miles to the dealer and who knows what happens during that time. This is why it is IMPORTANT for a customer to do a detailed test drive to determine the way the RV handles and then that will be addressed before he pays and picks up the RV. IF it is NOT aligned correctly, then that will manifest itself at Test Drive, not years/miles down the road. Doug
