Those plaques the RV manufactures put on vehicles spelling out tire pressures are absolutely dangerous. But I think they are required by the feds.
With not a clue in the world of what tires you are running on your rig how could they possibly be able to tell you what air pressures to run with.
How many rigs are out there right now running down the road with severely under inflated tires because somebody use those stupid plaque recommendations?
Perhaps a little work with a hammer and chisel might save some lives.
This is one of the most ridiculous replies I have ever read here! Winnebago knows exactly what tires (load range) they are installing and the maximum loads per axle the coach is designed to carry. They use these figures to determine the tire pressures on the plackard.
Please know what you are talking about if you wish to be helpful in the future.
that *might* be true for tires delivered on a brand new MH but it would be coincidentally true at best when buying a used MH. in both cases it is best to know for sure rather than guessing and hoping for the best by weighing the MH as it is loaded for travel and inflating the tires per the mfg chart.
