If anything is out of alignment tire wear will tell the story. There are other methods without getting your bank account raided.
Something to think about is once a tire starts to wear funky, even if you fix what caused the wear, tire keeps wearing funky, and faster than should. Likely not a issue for most RVs, but if you use it a lot should be aware. This is not to say don't look for wear. That should be done for every vehicle.
Measure the distance between the tires. Should be very very close to the same.
Take a board across both tires at axle height. It should be touching each sidewall front and back.
Loop a line around the kingpin and take it to center under each U bolt. Should be the same left and right.
You Tube is your friend. Look up instructions for installing the Correct Track system.
Any/all of these work if, and only if trailer has been pulled straight, and is on level surface. Axles work some side to side on curves and leans.
If you can get the level surface, long enough to pull straight, sprinkle heavy layer of floor in front of tires. Pull, stop so can look at tracks behind each tire for sign of side force.
