Don,
Totally true of the Ford/Firestone fiasco.
But, the GVWR plate in an RV gives the correct PSI for the OE size/load range tire WHEN EACH AXLE IS LOADED TO GAWR.
Also, agree that weighing and using the tire manufacturer's inflation table to determine the MINIMUM PSI is the correct way to do it.
You can get axle weights at most truck stops. Far better is individual wheel position weights, then use the heavier wheel position on each axle to determine correct minimum PSI for all tires on that axle.
