We took a drive together and both were (way) off. I asked if he'd checked these items and (as Gomer Pyle says, "Surprise, surprise!") he said they missed that. (Excuse 9B in the RV salesperson's manual).



I got them both taken care of and THEN paid for the burgers.


Not all alignment issues result in pulling to one side or other readily apparent issues. It has to be checked out properly. Obviously loading your stiff won’t change the toe or probably the castor but I can see how it might affect the camber some. In any event, it’s STILL your responsibility to get it done whether you pay for it after delivery or you persuade the dealer to do it before. Personally I’d rather take it to a proper independent alignment shop and spend the $125 to have it checked. And if I’m going to do that I might as well get it loaded first. Whatever way works best for you is fine just really recommend you make sure it’s done.
