Welcome to the forum. I am shure someone from that area will chime in with a favorite place. I would look at one of the big truck dealers and see what they say. You might want to follow this thread as it deals with front end alignment. To do a proper alignment they have to adjust ride height. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted August 6, 2016 Gc's, Since the ALFA was built in California as a Division of Fleetwood, I would call them and perhaps they could still recommend someone....it would not hurt. I forgot what chassis your on, but call them with your VIN# and FIN# at hand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

manholt Report post Posted August 6, 2016 ALFA was started and built by the Son, of the owner off Fleetwood. When his father died, everything when Bankrupt, not because of the sub-prime Bank problem, but because of California Death Tax, he had no will (I will live forever) and probate court wanted $86 million ! ALFA folded, because of slumping sales over the previous years, so the son just shut it down! Carl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolfe10 Report post Posted August 6, 2016 Thanks, Carl. Knew there was a familial relationship, but believe they were totally separate companies. Over the years, a reasonable number of father/sons in the RV business-- here are a couple of others that come to mind: The Fore family (Foretravel) Doyle family (Alpinlite/Alpine) Perlot family (Safari/Silverleaf) Tiffin (Tiffin/Tiffin and Vanleigh RV 5 wheels) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lmsooter Report post Posted August 6, 2016 Don't know where it is in relation to your location but try Leisure Coachworks (formerly Alfateers) in Fontana, CA. It was formed after Alfa went under and is run by former Alfa employees. https://www.leisurecw.com/ They carry many replacement items for Alfa also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildebill308 Report post Posted August 7, 2016 I don't know what happened to the link I put in my previous post but here it is again. I think any competent truck alignment place could fix it. As I said before you have to set ride height to do an alignment. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't understand much either. I was trying to link to the discussion on DP front end alignment. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
