Tire pressure?

Where do you get your 110 psi? Wondering where to take the 5th wheel to get the tire pressure back up. It has been a few years and they are down to around 90 psi.
  • Any tire shop.
    Or if you have a decent sized portable AC, you can get 120-130+ psi out of them.
  • RVing without the ability to inflate all your tires to the recommended air pressure in a dry campsite isn’t wise.

    That's why a Via Air Compressor is in basement.
  • What tires are you running that require 120psi. I don't even fill my 22.5" class A tires to that pressure. I run them at 87psi, per the weight of the coach and the tire manuf weight/pressure chart.

    Well here’s proof that y’all that are OCD to +\- 1 psi, do I fill in the morning or evening, rotate the tires into or out of the sun, etc, might be just a bit too fixated on the merits of exact tire psi.
    Rock on Dave!

    On the flip side, I have like find it difficult to function around the house without a good air compressor.
    Sounds like it’s time to buy one. Or stop by a tire shop. Free air, as many psi’s as you can fit in your tires!
  • Run your tire pressure to max PSI rating on tire, cold.
    Check your tires before each trip.

    I carry a Viar compressor but never had to use it on road.....because I check tires before each trip and take them back to max.
