I want to get the front-end alignment checked on my 2012 Thor Hurricane. Neither the RV dealer or the RV repair shop I've been using can do it and were not able to recommend anywhere. I called Thor customer service for recommended places in my area but they didn't have that info. They gave me the name and number of a service manager about 50 miles from me that they have had a lot of good dealings with, but I haven't been able to get a hold of him yet. It shouldn't be this hard. So I'm wondering what kind of places others go to for this?

Does not surprise me that the dealer or RV repair can't align the front end of a MH. Look in the yellow pages under Bear alignment. Save yourself a trip and ask them if they can align large vehicles. Many of the larger Bear alignment places can align large rigs, MHs, commercial rigs etc.

I am surprised that your RV repair place i.e. dealer didn't offer the information to you.

I would call a OTR truck shop and see if they could do it or recommend a place close by that could.

Check out Glen's tire service in Melbourne, FL. They claim on their internet site they do RV alignment. Think it is about 48 miles south of you.

We were very happy with the work done by Josam's in Orlando.

Josams, as mentioned by the last post is the best in the business. If you want it done once and right go over there. They are in Orlando.

I took mine to a truck tire shop that was recommended by my rv dealer.
