I usually run close to the max air pressure in my tires. I can’t weigh my Winnebago Voyage 35L every time we use it. Often just the two of us, but sometimes four adults and two kids. I have three year old Michelin XRV tires. Just for my information, what pressures do you run in your tires giving the best handling and safety? The reason I ask is that recently we left heavy, so I put in 100 front and 90 rear. Rode and drove OK. We returned light, and it rode hard and light winds seemed to push us around a lot. By the way, I use a hand pressure gage and tire minders (Which I love). Thanks in advance for your wisdom.
You really need to weigh each axle, but only once and when the coach is fully loaded. Then add 10 - 15psi over the inflation chart, for taking care of all the variables, of which there are many. Use this for cold pressure and for checking it often, like right before getting underway.
I probably run a little more than I need to, but that's a whole lot better than being under. Coach rides nicely, with whatever, so that's never a consideration.
