I have seen it posted many times to inflate tires 5-10# over rv listed tire pressure. Why would you do this?
First, it should be done by weighing, as the RV's sticker has no idea what the load is and is just assuming GVWR.
When weighing just the axle, one side could weigh more than the other, as well as adding or shifting weights with people or other.
Changes in ambient temps. as you travel.
A developing slow leak that might take a day or so to catch.
Conflicting tire gauges and a little over is always better than being under.
Tires will run cooler and save a sip of fuel as well.
