Alignment after new tires?

I just replaced the tires on my VEGAS 25.2 2016 (DATE ON TIRES 2015) and I am guessing that a front-end alignment is called for. The first alignment on my VEGAS made driving a relaxed affair and got rid of my "white knuckles". Just dont want to go overboard on another alignment just because of the tire purchase..

If the old front tires' wear was normal I'd skip it. Otherwise, get it aligned.

New tires don't change the alignment but it's a good excuse to upsell more services.

Agree with ACE, if the tire wear was normal, and the unit tracks well, let it alone.

Did the old tires wear normally? Does the MH still track and drive comfortably? What is the cost of a new set of tires? What does an alignment cost? Would having the alignment checked give you peace of mind?
I do agree with the ACE and the other posters that if the tire wear has been normal the front end is probably OK, still an alignment is cheap in the scheme of RV maintenance.
