Assuming no worn parts (we don't know how many miles on it, or if chassis lubrication has been done as it should) there isn't much to a front end "alignment" on that chassis.
With its solid front axle, CAMBER can only be changed by bending the solid axle.
Caster can only be changed by adding/subtracting solid metal shims (and caster is really not a significant factor when it comes to tire wear)
Toe- IN is really the only normal "adjustment". And, it can be checked with nothing more than a tape measure. No exotic machinery needed.
Yes, to check rear axle to frame alignment to insure that the coach is not "dog tracking" which can also affect tire wear, is a little more complex.
It has about 70,000 miles on it. The first shop I took it to, who told me they couldn't do anything, also told me it needed new parts on both wheels. I'm kicking myself; I can't remember which part. The second shop ordered the parts for me and then told me when I got there that the first shop was crazy and I didn't need them. They also greased the steering parts. Third shop that actually claimed to do the alignment (but without effect) agreed that no new parts were needed.
