When I first bought our current coach I had a problem with the front tires. They were Goodyear which I replaced with Bridgestone but still wanted to get an alignment.
I called Buddy Gregg's which services large motorhomes and inquired about an alignment. They said they did not do it in house but gave me the name of a company they used. So that's where I took my coach.
Call one of the larger RV sales/service shops and ask them.

You did not mention why you think you need an alignment. Don't expect an alignment to fix a wandering issue. If you have toe out on the front wheels fixing that can help but that is the only thing about your coach that can be adjusted without shimming or bending. If it were my coach I would take it to Josams in Orlando Florida for a four wheel alignment. If you are having handling issues then you need to read the two threads in the following link. We have spent years and thousands of hours addressing the handing issues of the Roadmaster chassis.
As Bob said, the only thing commonly adjusted during an "alignment" on a straight-front-axle vehicle is toe-in. If you are mechanical, you and a helper can set toe-in in your driveway with a tape measure. Raise each tire, spin it and put a mark around the circumference. Measure the distance between the marks at the front of the tire and at the rear. The measurement should be less in the front. Virtually any amount of toe-in will suffice. Toe-OUT tends to intensify any wandering condition.
