I can't answer your question, but I can tell you you don't have a Workhorse W-22 chassis IF the coach in your signature is correct. A Monaco Windsor will have a Monaco Roadmaster chassis under it.

If you do have a workhorse chassis, here is the link to the service manuals. These are large .pdf files:

So what year, make and model did you buy?
I've got some hints on the W22 8.1 engine and transmission if you are interested.

Make sure the Bosch brake recall has been done.
The Allison 1000 transmission fluid needs to be changed. It probably came with Transynd but you need to know if it's ever been changed along with the Spin-on transmission fluid filter. Pretty easy do it yourself project.
Never have the transmission power flushed. Allison says that's very bad.
Have the hoses and belts ever been replaced? Mine have been replaced twice over the past 90,000 miles. The belt idler/tensioner has been replaced too.
Plugs and wires have been done twice on mine...I use all OEM electrical parts on mine.
You need to replace the air filter and clean the MAF which is right after the air filter.
How old are the tires and what air pressure are they set at?
Why are you having an alignment? Mine came from Monaco with a coupon for a free alignment which I thought wasn't necessary, after all it was new. Well, guess what, I should have had it aligned after I got all my stuff in it.
Are your tires showing strange wear and, if so, what brand of tires are they?
Your gauge panel may go through a reset while you are driving...alarms go off and all the gauges peg. Clears in about 10 seconds. We've learned to ignore it now. It's the Actia brand gauges....I'm on my third cluster. Junk.

Call Brazel's for alignment specs. You want as much caster as you can get. 5 degrees or more.

The only thing o adjust is the caster and the toe in or out. To adjust the camber you would have to bend the axle. I don't know the specs off the top of my head but I do know that if you add a couple of degrees of caster it does drive better.

If you are taking your MH to a reputable alignment shop you shouldn't have to provide the specs. They should already have them.
