Central VA, need wheel Alignment

I'm in the central part of Virginia,(that's middle of the state not Richmond) Anybody had any experience with an Alignment shop for Motor homes? 2015 Winnebago Adventurer 37F, want to get it done before I put Steering Stabilizer on.
  • Shaner’s Auto Service, 1208 12th street, Lynchburg Va did the alignment on my 2011 F53 chassis Winnebago Vista. You will have to make an appointment. They specialize in truck alignments. No complaints. Find my post last year on my experience in the Class A forum.
  • When you spend your money, don't settle for "OK it's aligned".
    Get the before and after settings, in print.
    Camber should not need adjusting. It requires bending of the axle.
    Caster should be between 4 & 5 degrees positive.
    Toe in should be at the maximum allowed positive.
    Don't settle for "it's with in specifications".

    I still do some alignment work when our local shop is over run with work and have many happy customers.

  • Roanoke has a go to place Valley Heavy Duty truck alignment .Just off I81 past camping world. PM if you need help.
  • Check with the commercial truck tire shops in your area. If they don't do alignments they should be able to recommend someone who can.

    Colony Tire (formerly Carpenter Tire) in Lynchburg is a possibility. Their web site says they do RV tires and service.
  • Is there a Rice tire near you. They have a few locations around the state.
  • Local truck shop, has a 1 Star rateing, looking for someone who knows what they are doing.
  • Look for a local truck shop and give them a call. There really no different than a class 7/8 truck.
