Steven, fellows and fellaws:
I don't have an idea how much you weight, but I had similar problems and had
the  Westfalia aligned twice without much improvement.  The third time I
took the van into the shop the owner was there.  First he show me the 0-0-0
gauges demonstrating that the work was done correctly and the van was
"aligned".  Then he told me to step into the driver seat and look out of the
windshield into the computer monitor.  The cam and the toe went like crazy
to the left side.  I weight something around 240#.

He re-aligned the van with me inside and since then I have never had any
more problems with wheels been unevenly eaten to one side.  The wheels I
have now have been in the van for nearly 35,000 miles and still look good
(side to side).
