One of the biggest spoilers of our travelling enjoyment is the spooky handling of our moho in the southwestern desert winds. Gusts of crosswinds can literally make it change lanes if they are strong. It doesn't lean much, but it moves sideways. I run the tire pressure on our 30ft. gasser A at 75 to 80 psi for a smoother and quieter ride. Do you know if increasing the pressure by 10 or 20 psi would make a big improvement in the stability? The tires are 245 70R 19.5.
Look on the side of your tires for "max pressure" psi the tire is designed for. Then air the tires to the max. I run my Good Year "G" rated tires at 110 psi.
Do NOT do this. This advice may be ok for a trailer, it's bad advice for a MH. Weigh your rig and adjust PSI according to the manufacturers chart based on the loaded weight. Max on the sidewall is a warning - not a recommendation. That is the maximum psi you can put for the max weight your rig can carry. Without weighing your MH this is a blind assumption and if after weighing the chart tells you to put them at max then your tires are inadequate.
