RV Tire Loading/Inflation Safety Software

[txharleydude]

I just want to let others know about a new PC software known as "RV Weight & Tire Safety Factors" ( RVWTSF ). It uses the RV vehicle manufactures weight/loading and tire information to determine loading effects on tires, based on recommended tire inflation pressures under current or forecast travel period outside air temperatures. Also, it gives me the information I need for accurately setting my TPMS high and low tire pressure alarm points.

I feel like it gives me a significant travel safety edge.

Please explain the "at various ambient temperatures".


While PSI DOES go up with temperature (Ideal Gas Law), the recommended PSI for a given load does not change.

In real terms what this means for many RV'ers is that they set the PSI to the correct pressure (based on actual weight of the heavier wheel position on each axle) in the winter.

Then the normal PSI loss is countered in the summer by the increase in ambient temperature. Good to go for the summer.

Need to "reinflate" in the fall/winter.

Do you see how your post could look suspicious? You recently joined and your first and ONLY post is to recommend some software from a business that just registered their domain a month ago.

You'd have an even more significant travel safety edge if you loaded your RV like you would for a camping trip, then weighed the RV. Knowing what the loaded RV actually weighs is more important than what it weighed when it rolled out of the factory.

Good grief!!!

I really was not very clear, because there really is a lot more to it. Yes, the software allows use of the vehicle manufactures weight/loading information, but as a base line.

For a motorhome example, three different load factor scenarios are able to be evaluated:

1. Manufactures Loading Specs & Cargo & Tow comparison to Tire Loading (based on selected inflation pressures at various ambient temperatures)
2. Estimated Cargo and Tow Loading comparison to Tire Loading (based on selected inflation pressures at various ambient temperatures)
3. Actual Scale Weigh loading comparison to Tire Loading (based on selected inflation pressures at various ambient temperatures)

These three scenarios can separately be converted into "Tire Loading Safety Factors" for front axle, rear axle, tag axle, gross vehicle weight and gross combined weight. A "Green" safety factor is good and "Red" is not. Simple. Also, when an actual weigh is accomplished the front, rear and tag axle loading as a percentage of capacity is provided. Then there is also my ability to dial in my TPMS high and low alarm points based on real tire inflation and ambient air temperatures.

I agree that everyone should weigh there rigs. However, just to let you know, most fellow RV'rs I have broached the subject with over the years have never had their rig weighed. This lends support for the fact that “overloading” is the number one cause of RV accidents.

RVWTSF was money well spent as far as I'm concerned. Like a lot of other forms of insurance, you really don't need it, until you do...

Actually, private domain registration is recommended to keep spammers from accessing contact info. Domain registrars list email address and phone numbers for all domain contacts. It is an easy way for spammers to gain access to that info. It's one of the reasons GoDaddy uses Captcha when doing a WHOIS lookup. I recommend it to all my business customers.

Businesses have public address and contact information available, there is no reason to hide it on domain registration. Setup 'domain@' and dump all emails sent there unless they come from your registrar and spam is not an issue.

Private domain registration makes sense for regular folks who want a domain and scammers. That's about it IMO and Amazon would agree:

Registrant Name: Hostmaster, Amazon Legal Dept.
Registrant Organization: Amazon Technologies, Inc.
Registrant Street: P.O. Box 8102
Registrant City: Reno
Registrant State/Province: NV
Registrant Postal Code: 89507
Registrant Country: US
Registrant Phone: +1.2062664064
Registrant Phone Ext:
Registrant Fax: +1.2062667010
Registrant Fax Ext:
Registrant Email:

As well as the domain hosting this, and countless others.

Sure looks like it, software likely malware or install wrapped with ASK.com crapware.

Anyone reported to Mods yet?

Shoot, I hadn't considered that, but check out the join date. I think you've hit the nail on the head.

Very likely a covert spam attempt

Above is link for sample screen shot for motorhome. Does seem to go ito a lot of detail. Yes I think OP has an interest in the co.

[coolbreeze01]

I run max psi per sidewall. Another thing to consider is tire loading shifts while going down the road.

Wonder if the OP understands the relationship between load and pressure in tires. Does he understand Interply Shear on multi-axle tires and the effect of inflation on this shear force?

What might his basis be for advising people to run less than the tire sidewall pressure on TT application?

The manufactures weight/loading and tire information will not be adequate info to accurately determine air pressures for RV tires. ACTUAL loaded weights must be used which are not available until the owner loads and then weighs the vehicle.
