Just to address another point someone brought up. The fronts are 315/80 22.5. Max pressure is 130psi. For the weight limit of the coach they needed to be at 125 (according to Michelin tables), which is where it was set by the dealer. Since it was brand new, he hadn't had the chance to weigh the coach himself yet to see if it could come down a little to 115 or 120, but 125 should have been safe.
I brought the point up about the tire pressure and thanks for the info. The front end (axle weight) of your Dad's coach must be extremely heavy, especially with no diesel engine up front! I drove Peterbuilts with CAT engines my whole driving career and the front axle weight was 13,500 Lbs. tare weight. And we never ran over 100 lbs. Thanks again for the info and, I believe you and the front axle weight on your Dads DP is mind boggling to me!
