You can go crazy trying to get those four corners weighed. I myself have really not put to much into that. Yep, there'll be a few pounds difference to be sure but, as I've stated many times, in my case, even if I did find that much difference, based on my compartment layout and, the way things are organized etc., I wouldn't change anything.
I've weighed my coach, twice and, the tire pressure chart dictates just what's supposed to be in there. I don't add anything. I figure they pretty much know what to suggest, being that THEY made the tires. The coach handles perfect, the tires wear flawlessly, the mpg is what it is. I've had those tires as much as 15 lbs. higher than what's called for and, the mileage IS THE EXACT SAME only, it rode a lot rougher. If you get it weighed, front and back, then do the math and, apply it to the recommended tire pressure for your specific tires, you'll be just fine.

Only one problem with exactness, when it comes to psi and air in your tires. It's only good for the moment you aired them up. When traveling and with the following morning, there can be quite a bit of difference in the ambient temp. between Death Valley and Yosemite NP.
Then there's a slow leak maybe that might take a day or so before you catch it and maybe ruining the tire. Adding or shifting weights around with people of other changes things as well. Most aren't of a critical nature, but then being exact isn't critical either. Just saying that IMO, you're better off with covering all the bases and variables.
