Conditions vary for sure but.............
IF you get the same size and load range tires with the same max. pressure rating, I don't see how the recommendation at less than max. load is going to be that much different, no matter what brand they are.
I use my RV more like a camper; it doesn't have much extra load.
Those who use one like a mobile house probably should pay closer attention.
Even use as a "camper", whatever that means, may include fresh water in the fw tank, propane in the propane tank, one or more people on board and food, not to mention a few sundries like dishes and cooking stuff and just a change of clothes or two. You might be surprised at how fast that can get over 1,000 lbs. Just for laughs a giggles, weigh it empty and then set up for a camping trip and weigh it again, with the people who travel with you on board. Michelin seems to think a couple of hundred pounds of load makes a difference, but what do they know? they just engineered and built the tires.
