Cold pressure temperature is somewhere around 80 degrees. You fill your tires to max 50 psi in this discussion and temperatures get over 100 degrees, tires will be well above max pressure. Bamb! No more tire.

TOTAL B.S.
"Cold Pressure Temperature" is ANY temperature at which the tire has NOT BEEN in use for a PERIOD OF TIME.
Follow YOUR "recommendation" is folly and WILL result in damaged or premature tire failure and or excessive tire wear.
UNDER INFLATION will result in overloading the tires in most cases with travel trailers (travel trailers tend to be rather close to the weight ratings of the tires to start with). This in turn results in tires blowing up at the least opportune time.
In the case of trailers unlike autos you want to fill to the max SIDEWALL PRESSURE which is listed on the tire. Don't worry about how "soft" or "hard" the ride of the items in your TT those items will be fine.
By the way as a "public service" item, check your valve stems for weather checking.
I was prepping my TT a few days ago for the camping season and found a flat tire. I discovered that the valve stem over winter cracked and leaked.
The tires have been on the TT for 6 years so it was time for some new tires anyway. So, $400 later we now have new tires AND valve stems...
