What is the GVW of your 5er? My 5er, a 39'6", 4 slide HR with a GVW of 16,950 came with the GY G614's..Manufacturer of my 5er recommended running tires at 110 psi, as did Good Year....I spoke with a Goodyear Rep at a Wingfoot about 2 weeks ago and again was told the same thing. I asked him about using the scales to take the weight of each tire and use weight tables and was told what I already knew. "IF" one wants to go through that, go ahead, but your covered, with no effect to the tire if you run at max sidewall pressure, less heat build up, best wear pattern, again, that was a GY rep. I've had my best wear and no heat issues running my tires with my 5er loaded to about 15,950# @ the recommended tire pressure of 110 psi...

believe it or not, until a few minutes ago I've never bothered to so much as look at the weight ratings of our camper .... we are currently spending the summer in our '06 Sunnybrook Titan 34BWKS so as to answer your question I went over and checked .... its UVW is 13,248 lbs and its GVWR is 15,000 lbs .... what it weighs as it sits, I have no clue and really don't care .... guess it shows that I pay very little attention to such things .... we now put on a new set of G614's just before the ones in use reach the 5 year mark and as a side note we have never managed to wear out the tread .... all of the failures mentioned earlier have taken place when trying to stretch their use past the 5 year mark .... in all three cases the failures took place during long summer trips where the temperatures were in/above the upper 90's .... that period was also one in which were still working and the camper sat for longer periods between use
