Just look in the yellow pages for truck aligners. They are usually the best for vans.

Tap into the trucking industry - truckers have their prime movers regularly aligned because tyre wear means big $ to them - such places can easily handle the van - I did this here in Adelaide with mine - other vanners I know have done the same.

Hi,

I would go to the Simplicity agents as they would know the specs to set correct alignment. I doubt truck alignment people would know the correct specs unless they have done a Simplicity before and downloaded the specs.
I presume it is independent suspension. I have cruisemaster IS and the settings are 2mm toe-in on front axle and 0 to 0.5 negative camber to the vertical on all wheels. Rear wheels should measure parallel to the chassis rails. Simplicity would have specs such as these (but not necessarily the same) for their suspension as well.
It is easy to do yourself....all you need is a digital spirit level. I have learnt to do my own so I can check the alignment easily after a rough road section. You do not need to take the wheels off...just find a level hard stand area.
Cheers

I had the Simplicity suspension on my BT aligned by Big Wheels in Forrestfield. They did a good job.

I'm glad I ain't too scared to be lazy
