New camper coming has nitrogen filled tires

Sorry, but ALL gases behave pretty close to the Ideal Gas Law: PV = nRT. That is, they build up pressure when they heat up. That includes nitrogen and water vapor!
The only exception is when you have liquid water in the tire - and even then, it eventually disappears (migrates outside the tire due to the Law of Partial Pressure of Gases.)
