In my experience, the thing that really needs checking right after the
installation is toe. Minor changes in tie rod length make for huge changes
at the wheels. Center the steering and measure from a good tread at the front
and rear of the tires to get the wheels into the ballpark of parallel
(ours were off by a full inch!)
Ride height is the next thing to worry about, but it will change as the coach settles.
The rear ride height will throw off the front measurements if you don't block the rear
up at the right height.
Camber is going to change a lot once you drive the coach, so not much point in worrying
about that or caster yet. Set the cams in the recommended positions and leave it alone
for now. Camber will continue to change for a lot more miles than you might expect.
just my two cents.
