If you bought the trailer new, I've never known any RV dealer who spent the time or money to balance RV tires an any trailer. Most subcontract tire service and don't even have the equipment to balance tires, even if the customer asks for it.
Keystone ships them without balancing and with only a "eyeball alignment". They use a jig to install the axles with the chassis inverted at the first station on the assembly line, then turn it over on a dolly which is used to move the trailer down the line to each of the stations. Once it's at the end, they jack the trailer, remove the dolly and tow it outside with a tug.
I've never seen any towable RV with balance weights on the wheels on delivery to the dealer's lot and can't remember ever seeing one with balanced wheels on delivery to the customer.
