Laser alignment

On another post somebody mentioned a problem with the alignment.
The new thing (at least to me) is a laser alignment for motorcycles.
Are they doing those for the RV industry?

    That is so true
  • Pat at Pro Tire in Denton TX put new tires on our Class A and did laser alignment right in the RV park. Awesome job.

    When I purchased my used MH I asked that they align it, it was way off. I watched the guy unload his equipment from his van and struggle and *****ed through the whole process, because it was a sunny day and the laser light was poor. As it turned out what he did was absolutely worthless, it was the rear that was out of alignment not the front (it came that way from the mfg). I later took it to a Freightliner repair station where they used the traditional method, the issue was obvious to them, but not a quick fix.

    I would pass and go with the traditional method, which actually still uses a laser.

  • The newer alignment equipment does use lasers for trucks, autos, and motorcycles. As this link shows, it is used on RV's also. Wheel alignment
