I guess you missed reading this:

Our friend is now driving it from Los Angeles to Galveston TX to get shipped in Finland, and in first leg just before Phoenix AZ
noticed that right side mid tire was wearing out fast.

Make sure that it is really bent. The person checking it may have just parked it after a turn, and it has not found it's neutral
position yet. On corners, they go all catty wompus, look like they are about to fall off, and scare the cr__ out of you. Drive it
straight for a ways before checking..

Rob,

I didn't miss that at all, however in my mind, being "bent" and "tire wear" are certainly "questionable facts". I don't think we know anything of this drivers qualifications. I just know that when the suspension is all out of shape due to parking in a turn, an unfamiliar person can get concerned about that, and perhaps "imagine" new tire wear that isn't really there.

(This actually happened to me when I was stopped for gas one time. A stranger came up to me and said my tire was going to wear out fast because the suspension was all bent out of shape and I should get it fixed right away, and it was unsafe.)

I don't mean to imply that absolutely is the case, but... If the driver is not familiar with GMC MHs, he might see a misaligned tire on a parked coach, and decide it is wearing out a tire when it is actually not doing so at all. Or, it could very well be bent, only checking it properly will tell.

Stranger things have happened, and I felt it worth questioning. If you don't agree, well, isn't this all about different ideas on things, and exchanging possibilities, ideas and information? JMHO
