Correct Tire Pressure
Okay, I've been given absolutely genuine expert information on correct tire pressure from two purported experts: A long-haul trucker and a lifelong truck/camper owner, and they both completely disagre...

The best thing to do is weghing per axle or better even per wheel.
But as long as you didn't , you will have to go from the GAWR's ( gross axle weight ratings) wich mostly can be found on the same plate as the pressure advices.
then use my Motorhome-tire-pressure calculator to be found in the next map on my skydrive of hotmail adress.

It uses some reserve wich you can chanche if you think different, and my own formula wich gives savest answer.
You can also give me here the GAWR's and I will do it for you .
Included a picture of another spreadsheet in that same map to play with the temperature and pressure , part 3 is filled in with your pressure chanches rear to show what warm temperature.
But that inside tire temperature can also go up to boiling point of water 100dgr Celcius/Fahrenheit??.
this by the heat of the brakes , transported trough the rimms, so it does not have to be only by driving at het moment you measured it.
Normal warm inside tire temperature is about 112 dgr F and cold 65dgr F. You filled cold and it was 100dgrF instead of 65 on your trip , so 35 dgr warmer , so mayby warm inside tire also 35 warmer then 112 = 147 dgr F . Spreadsheet gives 141 so pretty close together.
So probably the used pressures where yust right, but calculate it.
