It doesn't take too long and will definitely make a difference minimizing tire wear. I have found that very few shops will align a trailer and I don't know what is involved with fancier or newer rigs.
I was going through tires every three years until I upgraded to a 3500 lb axle vs the 1500 that came on the Bear trailer. Cost about $120 and shipped to my house. Took about an hour to install. 1652 G3 side console.
