You won't see alignment equipment because that is not performed at the factory. My understanding is that the chassis is built properly aligned as a stripped chassis. That is all the manual comment means. All that weight that Thor adds, plus then the weight that you add, makes for misalignment until you get it aligned.

Most dealers are not equipped to do alignment, and those that align new coaches are rare. It is recommended that you load your coach as you would for travel before getting it aligned. I thought ours drove OK from on delivery, but it was much improved after I had it aligned by the pros.
