Does your brand new Motorhome drive and handle poorly to the point it wants to drift over into the next lane? I had the same problem with my brand new 2022 Jayco Redhawk. I noticed on my drive home from the RV dealer there was a harsh pull to the left side. It couldn't be this badly out of alignment it's brand new off the RV lot?
I needed to find concrete answers so I took my Jayco to True Line Alignment & Brakes, a local alignment shop to solve this pulling problem once and for all. What we end up finding was shocking to say the least! Worn pivot bushings at under 3,000 miles and much more! I still can not believe brand new RV's off the lot are so poorly out of alignment. My 10 cents on the matter is if you have a new RV the first thing you need to be doing is taking it in for a proper alignment. I'm glad I did because leaving it alone would have only made matters worse not to mention it would have given me pre mature tire wear on my brand new tires.

Look at the rides in the background, holy cow
Jeremy, I can’t thank you enough for putting these videos out. As a Class C owner I have been amazed how bad these things are from factory and have spent alot of time and money to make our rig safe. The end all goal is to eventually have a weldtec upgrade but its down the road. My hope is more people see your videos before they make this purchase and find out the hard way like we did. Keep these coming and if you want some more info on what to look for I feel over the last 6 years owning a class C I have become quite knowledgeable on these rigs.
It’s people like you who are going to make a difference in the end and again I couldn’t thank you enough for this content. Just wish these kind of companies were easier to find where we are in Minnesota. Lots of learning but endless memories in it with the fam.
Happy camping!!!
Wow, thanks Joshua! You definitely had a lot of good things to say and I really appreciate it! My goal is to do the best and make really rad components for Vans and RVs. As long as there's awesome people you like you who love what I do, I'll keep on making content. Thanks again!
This is what getting service done in this country used to be, glad to see there are still folks out there doing this. Look at the dedication and knowledge they bring to do the work.
Thanks for watching, yes good service is hard to come by!
EXCELLENT SHOW AND TELL. LOVE THESE OLD TIMERS.
Thanks, I appreciate the support and hey, the old timers really know their stuff!
My e450 sunseeker is doing the drift exactly the same as yours. One year ago I spent $650 at a ford truck dealer which included parts to put in to get the numbers on target. I need to get it done now mid my summer trip 800 miles away from home since I cannot deal with the bad handling.
If you need help with your suspension i know a GREAT place...... @weldtecdesigns
@@jeremysworld10 thanks for the help. I actually found a very good tech with Purcell Tires at St Louis. He showed me how the dealer messed up and don’t know what they were doing. After the new alignment, it drives much straight now. Since the two front tires were already cupped, he rotated the two good inner rear ones to the front. Everything is good now.
New subscriber here. My husband and I are looking to purchase a Class C. While looking for reviews, you popped up. Thank you for the wonderful education! I have looked at a few different Jayco Class C RVs, it looks like they all have slightly different options?? IE: Jride on some and maybe not on others? Never new you would need an alignment and new suspension fresh out of the gate on a new rather large $$ purchase. Thanks again from Maine.
Welcome aboard! glad you to have you and i hope that i can help you on this fun experience, Be sure to follow @weldtecdesigns for lots of rv upgrades!
Thank u@ where can I take my rv for the alignment? Texas we live in😊
Good stuff
Adding this shop to my list. I hope they aren't in CA.
thanks for a great information on C series RV alignment. too bad yours is a brand new RV with a factory Defects. I have a 1993 C series E 350 RV. with the original front end and it still drive excelent but Im putting new ball joints and new front end due to normal ware .hopefully Im not running into new problems as they always show up when you start fixing staffs . i hope not. thanks again for a great video.
Glad you found the video helpful & Informative! Hope all goes well with the ball joint job.
Good info wasted $400 on an alignment my 2022 class C and still pulls to the right.
Glad you found this video informative and helpful!
I have a 2002 Born Free Class C 25 ft motorhome on a Ford E-450 chassis with a v10 engine. Does anyone know what the standard settings should be for Castor, Camber, and Toe? So far have replaced the Shocks with Bilsteins, Helwigg Front Sway Bar, Helwigg Rear Trac Bar, Safety-Plus Front Steering Stabilizer, and Firestone Rear Air Springs.
THESE ARE WHAT I LIKE TO SEE WHEN IT COMES TO ALIGNMNENT. +4 CASTER WITH 1/4 MORE ON THE PASSNEGER SIDE, CAMBER SLIGHLTY NEGATIVE AND SET THE TOE 1/8 LESS IN THE FRONT. DOES THIS HELP?
The more you know ==**
Knowledge is power my friend and I'm here to bring what I know about vans and RVs to you. Anything I can do to help!
so how do i find folks like these specialists in my area??
BEST IS TO CALL AROUND AND MAKE SURE THEY HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH THE I-BEAM SET UP.
