You should definitely weigh the motorhome. If you can get each corner, that's ideal. Not all scales weigh all four corners, you might have to settle for front axle and rear axle weights. Then check the tire manufacturer's specs on tire pressure.
You should also have the alignment checked and the ball joints checked.

Had them replaced, the front end aligned and the motorhome drives great now. No movement at all.
