Tire inflation pressure
I have seen it posted many times to inflate tires 5-10# over rv listed tire pressure. Why would you do this?

there are as many reasons as there are people doing it. maybe they've actually weighed their RV and then consulted the inflation guide for their make/size of tire and found the 'RV listed' pressure to be wrong. IMO it's not "wrong" to over-inflate your tires (up to the max weight rating for the tire) but it's certainly unnecessary and could result in handling and braking issues.
load your RV as you would for travel, at a minimum get individual axle weights, consult the inflation tables for your tires and inflate accordingly.
