Air pressure in tires and GVW
I've seen several posts that refer to adjusting air pressure in the tires based on vehicle weight. How does this work? Is it the heavier the rig the higher the pressure should be? If my rig weighs ...

From a general stand point the higher pressure, higher load carrying capacity of the tire. For best wear of the tire and ride comfort setting pressure to the load is your best option. If you don't know your coach weight setting pressure to maximum axle capacity is your next option. Your coach should have a placard with recommended tire size and load range along with listing the recommended pressures which will be based on the axle capacity.
With my coach I have a greater weight capacity in my tires than my axles. Also after getting my coach weight checked my normal weight is off the bottom of the inflation charts. As such using the charts doesn't work very well so I inflate to the maximum of my axles.
