I failed to look at the tread on my tires or I would have seen the toe in problem. I primarily took the RV in to add the steering stabilizer. They found the issue at that time but already too late for the tires. JamieGeek is absolutely correct that noone checks for proper alignment after leaving Ford. They also found the steering box was loose, power steering hose was loose and virtually every bolt/nut was loose a 1/2 turn. It is up to the final owner to thoroughly check over the coach AND the chassis. An alignment is cheap insurance as well as all the other areas a good shop checks when under your rig.
