Check tyre pessures  treads this is usually first port of call & camber of roads have a lot to do with it.We have had 5 bay windows over the years & its definatly a V.W trait.We have had our present T2 for 30 years & she   still pulls slightly to the left on braking but we have learned to compansate with the steering wheel.We have spent a small fortune on having tracking done & checking her out to no avail thats not to say that your problem might be worth having a good mechanic look.When you find one let us know we only ever come across idiots who take us for a ride.

When I first got my camper it to pulled to one side violently after sorting out tyre pressure etc, I checked the calipers and over-hauled both sides, its quite easy to do and in-expensive, try these first. Hope you have good luck in doing this.
