Should not be any significant difference between coaches/chassis with solid front axles:

Camber-- close to zero and not adjustable
Caster-- 4.5 left side 5.0 right side and adjustable with shims. The higher caster on right side helps compensate for road crown (pulling to right).
Toe- in about 1/8" and easily adjustable.

Did they check RIDE HEIGHT before doing the alignment? Ride height has a material affect on front end CASTER.

And, if within specs, next thing to do is rotate the front tires side to side.

Well, I got a smart idea and called Hendersons Lineup in Grants Pass who has worked on my rig several times and Eric had the line up info and will fax it to Tire Rama in Missoula..

Yup, Hendersons is a good source.

Again, be sure that the FIRST THING they do is ride height alignment, as it significantly affects alignment specs.

DO provide them with the specs and the picture (post #6):
