Not to Happy with Thor or Ford

The problem can be corrected. The issue you have right now is who is going to pay for it. Even an altered or bent frame can be repaired by a competent alignment shop that has the right equipment and the mechanics that will take the time to do it right. Unfortunately, most RV manufacturers, and factory warranty issues are usually done using the least expensive solution, which may or may not work.
There are only a few places in the country that I know of will do the job right, but I doubt if Thor or Ford will want to pay for the fix.
One shop is Hendersons and another is Champion and a third is Brazels and the last that I know about is Sunshine Alignment. Just remember that you are looking for a shop that will correct "Thrust Angle" alignment problems with a truck chassis and that they have the equipment to accurately measure the before and after alignment.

Garden Spot truck repair is a big player in south central PA. They have multiple facilities in the region, including a shop in Ephrata PA. that specializes in drivability issues. The do a lot of work on brand new rigs for fleets, which typically involves receiving a truck straight from the dealer, shaving/truing all the tires, doing a proper all wheel alignment, adjusting steering wheel position, etc... Bottom line, according to their techs? Most truck chassis leave the factory in less than optimal condition, and correcting the defects makes the thing a lot more pleasant to drive, and gives much longer tire life. They trued the egg shaped Goodyears on my F53 chassis, and the MH left the shop a much better beast to drive.
