We brought our motorhome to have it weighed today. The scales in my area only weight the front and rear axle weights. So far no place to weigh all 4 corners. Here are the weights with water tank 3/4, Fuel 1/2 tank, mostly empty storage bins, 2 passengers when weighing. Propane full, empty holding tanks.
From the CAT Scale:
Front: 6,640 lbs (MAX 7,000 front axle)
Rear: 12,300 lbs (MAX 13,500 rear axle)
Total Weight today: 18,940 lbs (MAX 20,500)
I am using Hercules H-902 245/70 19.5 "G" rated tires with 100 PSI in each.
Tires states: 4540 Single 4300 Dual @ 110 PSI
Is my tire pressure correct? Too high?
Thank you in advance.
Hard to say without knowing what your chart says for 100psi, but does sound high for now.
I will say that if you're not going to weigh again and considering you're so close to max., I'd air up according to the GVWR axle ratings and add 15psi for a cushion to take care of the variables, including varying side to side weight differences.
Just curious, but what might be your GCWR rating
