dennyida -The best thing you have done is gotten the weights your RV axles are carrying. Was the RV in the usual "ready to travel" loading? If not make a guess on how much you will add and where or take it back over the scales.
Your rear axle seems a little on the heavy side. With the weights you gave 3,700 front and 9720 rear, look at the Michelin Tire Inflation Chart. Take a look at page 18 of the PDF file. According to the size you have, your front tires should be inflated to carry 1,850 lbs each or 50 psig as that pressure would carry 1,940 lbs. Your rear tires should be inflated to carry 4,860 each set or 80 lbs each as that pressure would carry 4,940. I have found that the tire manufacturers all have the same table.
