Uneven front tire wear

They suggested that when we get back from the trip to replace both front tires and do the alignment. They said two tires would be ~$550 and the alignment is roughly $250. It drives straight so the only thing wrong really is the tires wearing on the outsides....which I personally feel is because of the extra weight on the chassis from the motorhome. We will be pumping the tires up to 72+ but keeping them below 80psi for our trip as we will be near th max weight. I'm thinking that will help the wear pattern to come in the middle a little more too.

As already suggested, move/swap both front tires to the rear-same side. Then the alignment tire game is bypassed, as there is now two evenly worn tires on the front.
Those front tires will never wear back to even across the tread.
