So it sounds like the proper thing to do is to inflate/deflate as needed for both better rides/safety and also tire longevity. I do plan to stay at one place only one week though, and I do expect towing and non-towing mileage to be about 50/50. And since we plan to full-time, this is going to go on throughout the year with the expected annual mileage of 20k. I think its gonna be a PITA to inflate/deflate every week and even more so if I need to move the FW to dump in between...
As some have suggested, perhaps I'll look for a sort of hybrid pressure that is high enough for towing but not too harsh riding when not towing...
Not ideal to say the least - this could be a significant negative vs A Class/toad route if a happy medium pressure level cannot be found. If unloaded ride isn't too harsh, I'd rather go with convenience vs slightly higher cost of maintenance as long as there is no safety risk.
