Glad you are enjoying your RV. I use 65lbs front and back which is both the pressure listed on the door and the tire. I suspect not too much thought went into figuring that! Interesting that you have E rated tires, while I have D (my Chassis is rated at 12,300). I am using General 225/75R 16 AMERI 550 AS tires. At 10,000 miles I can see no wear. When I took delivery the rear tires had 40 lbs and the front even less! I keep a small 110v compressor on board all the time. The ride is a little harsh, but boy does it corner! I am going to have to drive a BT Cruiser at some point. I really wished the Trail Lite had a few more amenities, because I really need the rear entry, so I can park in regular parking spots, and can load some equipment for a small stained glass business. I haven't done much with the glass in the past couple of years, due to the higher demand for counseling (at a better $ return), but will eventually get back to the shows, and this motorhome will be ideal for that as well.

I had to take out the rear window of my old Winnebago in Palmer Alaska when it was two years old in 1988 and reseal it myself (at that time warranty was one year only). It held for at least 13 more years!
