Motorhome weighed today. - Need input

We brought our motorhome to have it weighed today. The scales in my area only weight the front and rear axle weights. So far no place to weigh all 4 corners. Here are the weights with water tank 3/4, Fuel 1/2 tank, mostly empty storage bins, 2 passengers when weighing. Propane full, empty holding tanks.

From the CAT Scale:
Front: 6,640 lbs (MAX 7,000 front axle)
Rear: 12,300 lbs (MAX 13,500 rear axle)
Total Weight today: 18,940 lbs (MAX 20,500)

I am using Hercules H-902 245/70 19.5 "G" rated tires with 100 PSI in each.
Tires states: 4540 Single 4300 Dual @ 110 PSI
Is my tire pressure correct? Too high?

Thank you in advance.

    Hard to tell until the coach is weighed with it loaded like it would be for a trip with all of your food, clothing, pets, tools, FULL fuel, and anything else you usually take on a long trip.
    Even then it is only a guess without four wheel weights. With only axle weights, you can divide by two but you should add extra because one tire WILL be carrying more weight than another on the same axle.
