Max pressure on a hot day is not always the best way to go, you do know tires while under way build heat and pressure, I never run max.
Perhaps a bit of a counterpoint:
Per all tire manufacturers, inflate the tire to the recommended PSI BEFORE DRIVING (that is their definition of "cold"). They know what PSI will do with temperature rise-- after all the Ideal Gas Law is pretty well known by the tire engineers.
This does not suggest that 120 PSI is the correct PSI for his tires/actual weights-- I have no idea if this is proper inflation or overinflated for his coach.
But at what time of day was pressure set, if you set pressure at 7am at max and by 2pm on a hot day it can rise as much as 10 psi without even driving, than add driving on that tire at 10 psi over max and see how high the psi can go.
