In this case the RV can be driven after all you drove it to the dealer.
I would drive it to a Tire Dealer and DO NOT let the dealer know which one or suggest one.. And get a 2nd opinion
This I know: IF the rims are bent, there are places which specialize in fixing that... Usually cheaper than a new rim and in most cases they do good work,, Never had a truck size rim done but have auto size a few times. Unless you are in S.E. Michigan you will have to find the shop yourself.
You also (usually) have to remove the tire yourself or have a professional tire service do it Good tire stores will know the rim-fix shops in your area.
ALSO Tires that are slightly out of round can sometimes be "Trued" yes, this adds wear to the tire, but in the long run a little wear in the RIGHT spot means the tire lasts longer.
Again, You will have to find the true-shop.. On this one I can not even help you in S.E. Mi as I have never dealt with such a business.
