Where do you haul thge air compressor... changing air pressures in your tires as you change roads... bull!
We usually travel 3 to 6 months and more than 20 states... US highways and dirt roads... everywhere and we have been doing it for 40 years. All of 7 of my tires were changed at Sams in San Angelo Texas at 47,000 miles using the same brand of tires that GM puton it originally. They were all within 1/32" of each other on tire tread.... I rotate them all including the spare.
We have engineers on this site... but all engineers don't work with tires, or electronics, or aerodynamics... .
We had a Doctor in East TN doing gynological exams... he got caught and was prosicuted... he was a Dr of Dentistry... maybe we should get him to explain tire pressures to us.
AS I explained to the OP... you'll get a bunch of theories... make it easy... just don't exceed the side wall limits.
A huge advantage of the maximum pressures it reduces the sway and wobble from squishy tires.

I don't change air on the road even though I do carry an air compressor when I'm on the road. I meant when the camper is going to be off the truck for extended periods of time at home. I also have 2 big air compressors at home, one in the main garage and one in my shop so it is not a problem. If your not overloaded on your rig then you are not going to have sway with the recommended PSI. I run 65 PSI and I have no sway with my rig but as stated I have over 2000# extra capacity on my truck before I reach my GVWR. I don't have a rear sway bar as I don't need one either.
Just because somebody doesn't happen to agree with you it is bull in your opinion, I'm sorry that I don't happen to agree with you on everything but I guess I need to bow down to your superior knowledge and accept you are always right so it must be bull.
I BOW DOWN TO THE SUPERIOR KNOWEDGEABLE ALL KNOWING PERSON AND EXCUSE ME FOR HAPPENNG TO DISAGEEE WITH YOU. IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN.
Now the above statement IS full of bull. I happen to have my own opinion and have a right to it without it being called bull.
And furthermore I did not say I change tire pressure as I change ROADS as you stated I said I change tire pressure when I'm unloaded meaning at home after a trip.
Did you go and look at the posters link I suggested. He IS a tire engineer and has been one for over 30 years. The posters signature is CapriRacer, take a look and read some of his information at his link in his signature if you are willing to maybe learn some new stuff and maybe find out there are other ideas and those people are TIRE ENGINEERS.
You know I get really tired of you and your thinking you are the only one on here that knows anything. I have a suggestion for you, why don't you take a sabbatical from here and write the new book of knowledge as you know everything.
Sleepy, just to let you know I have been around the block a few times also and have had a lot of experience and have been Rving for over 40 years in everything from TC, 5ers and even to diesel pusher MHs so maybe I might know a little bit also. Why do you think the tire companies put out a suggested tire pressures chart. Someone went to a lot of work to figure this out and I don't think for one minute that the tire manufacturers are going to spend that amount money if they don't feel it is needed.
Wayne, I know this is an attack towards an individual so you can ban me or delete this post if you so wish, that is up to you and admin. I'm just sick and tired of Sleepy being combative to people that don't happen to agree with him. It gets to the point that people are not going to post a difference if Sleepy has made a statement that they don't agree with as he always attacks them and their idea.
