I check my tire pressure at least weekly. I know that is compulsive, but its all riding on the tires and road damage can happen on any leg of a journey, especially to the inside dual. I look at the tires every rest stop and use a short baseball bat to thump my tires every morning. If they all sound the same they are all about the same pressure. I got my center hubs and 16" trim rings from a used hubcap place in OKC. I remembered Fleetwood Tioga's had trim rings and center hubs back in the nineties and green wheels. The Chevy factory wheels are white on my rig, so the rings and hubs were a natural. I like the look and checking the air pressure on all tires is a 10 minute task and the hardest part is bending over at my age. You will have to set the outer rings with a rubber mallet to get them to stick, but they won't come off then. I have lost a few hubcaps in the past 15 years and dont want the hassle. You should also be carrying a torque wrench and socket and check your lugs periodically. I check mine before each long trip. IMHO not checking your air pressure for 10 months is asking for trouble. Nice looking rig.
