I just checked and the tire pressure on all 4 of my 5th wheel tires is about 45 PSI. These are new tires installed by a reputable RV dealer, (about 5 weeks ago), so I assume they meant to inflate the...

Read what it says on the side of the tire. There is no such thing as a reputable dealer. It could be you have D load range tires and 45 psi would be the max for that tire.
Personal story. I had a 5er that used E range tires. Went to one of the largest tire dealers in the area for 4 new tires. He didn't have 4 of the kind of E range I wanted so they had to order them. The next day I took in just the old tires/rims. I picked them up later in the day, went home, and started putting them back on my 5er. As I put the first on one I checked the air pressure and it was at 45 psi. It was then I noticed it was a D range tire. I called the tire dealer and he said he put D range on them because he couldn't get E range tires. I had ordered E range, paid for E range, and needed E range for a 5er my size. When I took the rims/tires back the owner I got on them about why D range tires and not telling me. The owner would only reply "We couldn't get E range tires." When I asked about paying for more expensive tires but them installing a cheaper tire he finally replied "We didn't think you would notice." Reputable? The Attorney General's office didn't think so either.
