Lack of services for RVs

We live in the Chicago area. It took forever to find a company that will do an alignment on our Winnebago Aspect. It's a Class C on a E450 chassis. Regular alignment places can't do it. Just about all of the commercial truck outfits I called either won't or can't because they don't have the fittings for smaller than 22" tires/wheels.
I finally found a place close in to the city that will do it, taking it there tomorrow, on recommendation from a local RV dealer.
The Ford dealer I used to use for repairs and maintenance will no longer work on any motorhomes, too much money to be made servicing heavy duty trucks here. Hardly anyone here will work on RVs anymore here except Camping World and I'm not thrilled with that option. Not sure what to do if we have a major problem.
We need to move to a smaller city that has more services for RVs....

I did years ago when I needed some work done, that's how I found the Ford dealer in Shorewood that would work on it. They no longer will.
I did not do that for the alignment, actually because I had forgotten about that service. Thanks for the reminder.

I had a bad tire on the front, got new tires and they told me of a place to align the front end. Stopped at a Ford dealer and they said the same place. I went and they did a great job. Thats always a chance.
