front end wear

This is just an FYI for you guys Just got my @)!* Thor Chateau 31W back from the alignment shop. I noticed on my last trip that my left front tire seemed to be wearing out on the inside edge. Since the rig was due for an oil change anyway, I asked the dealer to check the alignment. when I picked up the rig, Dealer said their alignment equipment wasn't big enough to take on my motor home, and they'd recommend Champion Alignment in Elgin, Illinois.

I went to Champion, who did an alignment check,and told me that alignment was so far out that it was dangerous to drive ( camber out 7/16 inch plus, and horribly pigeon-toed, my words) . they did an alignment to commercial specs, and had to replace both front tires, using B.F. Goodrich radial TA's, since they wouldn't recommend Hankook's. Everything works great, now, but I really hate to be out the nearly $800 it cost me. I'm kinda ticked at both Ford and Thor for doing a lousy job of setup on the chassis.
