Tire placard

I feel silly asking this, but i don't know where the sticker is that says what my 1999 Rockwood Ultralight 24' tire pressure is. Where would the sticker be located?

    Sort of, the yellow tire sticker did not exist before 2005, but before that sticker there was a VIN sticker which had not only the VIN but other things like weights, tire sizes and might have even had recommended pressure for the tire sizes.. Mine has been gone before I bought my TT but I have seen them before.

    However, with trailers unlike automobile tires, the tire size and capacity is often right on the edge of not enough capacity. Because of that, the general rule is to inflate trailer tires to the max sidewall pressure. That pressure gives the tires the absolute maximum weight carrying capacity rating for the load range.

    The VIN sticker was typically applied on the drivers side of the trailer on the siding near the front of the trailer box. Sometimes applied on the front driver side of the trailer box and sometimes applied to the drivers side of the trailer tongue..

    Notice a theme?

    If yours is still there it will be on the drivers side of the trailer somewhere near the front..

    But, if all else fails, read the tire sidewall and air up to the max sidewall pressure (cold temp of course). Do not adjust pressure when hot (after driven for more than a couple of miles).

    My 97 and 95 both had one, both inside the cabinet door for the kitchen sink. It listed tire and also model specific information.
  • Some rigs have it on the outside adjacent to the model and VIN number placard.

    Surely you don't still have the original tires on it??
  • If you can't find it, first check max psi on the tires, then air them to the max psi when cold (not driven on). Then, get weighed and adjust tire pressure down based on the tire mfgrs. load table.

    My Tango has a sticker containing tire and various other info inside the door to under the kitchen sink.
    Other TTs I've had have the placard in a similar location.


    I'll go looking better in al the cupboards for it.

  • Molded into the sides of the tires.
    From there, figure out what it weighs and the proper pressure if you’re particular. Otherwise the 99% correct answer is 50psi in the 14” tires and roll!
