camper tire pressures
I have a Keystone Laredo (29 BHS, w/slide) tires say 65 max PSI...do I put the max in or a few less? When I bought it, I noticed it had 50 psi in them. I currently have 58 psi in them. We are ...

I was following the cold tire pressure rating of 50 PSI on the sticker located on the side of the trailer. I guess I should check the tire itself.
I have an tire inflator compressor, and it is supposed to supply up to 100 PSI, but it takes quite a while to get a tire to go from 45 PSI to 50 PSI. I can't imagine trying to get them up to 65 PSI!
With my last TT, I kept the tires at 50 PSI cold for almost 8 years with no problems.
Tankless compressors do take a while to get up to pressure and/or volume. Try one, even a small one, with a tank.
The problem with using the sticker on the trailer, is the trailer has no idea what tires are on the trailer or their specs and performance parameters.
Just keep in mind that just like there are folks out there who have leaking propane line that haven't blown up (yet), not having a problem running with too low pressure without any problems (yet) doesn't mean it is correct or safe. It's more a testament to the forgiveness of the tires themselves.
The exception being if you are highly overrated on your tires.
