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.
