Weight

thanks fred i will check it out. And scott I thought by weighting each wheel would give you the proper tire pressure? now I'm really confused?

camp104,
While the tire charts spell out what kind of pressure "should" be used for a given weight of a given tire, you don't run two different pressures, on the same axle just because you encounter two different weights. You pick the highest weight encountered on the axle and, adjust the tires accordingly to that weight.

The four corner weight thing is primarily used to see the differences in "side to side" loading of an axle. When the load is considerably higher on one side, then, if possible, a balancing act is attempted. I've never even tried the four corner weight thing. It's not possible on our rig due to the fact that, things are going to fit, where they're going to fit and, the load in a particular area, is just going to stay that way.

I've got 6 batteries, all tucked behind the right rear duals. The house batteries themselves are 280 lbs. I don't know what the two chassis batteries weigh but, they surely add weight to that corner of the rig. On the opposite side, same compartment, I've got the 30' 50 amp shore power cord and, the power drum and wheel for it, along with a big a$$ 2000 watt Magnum inverter/charger. All fairly close to the weights of the batteries on the opposite side.

So, I just take the highest weighted side and, adjust the tire pressure from that.
