How to properly check your RVs Tire Pressure Part 1.
When was the last time you checked the pressure in your tires?
The best place to start is with weight ratings. Weight ratings are established by the manufacturer and are based on the weakest link in the chain. The suspension system, tires, wheels, brakes, axles, and the RV itself all have weight ratings.
Under or Over inflated tires are both unsafe, send operating and repair costs sky high and can cause unexpected downtime.
Failure to maintain correct tire pressure can result in fast tread wear, uneven wear, poor handling, and excessive heat build up, which can lead to tire failure.
A federal data plate is required by law on all vehicles. It lists the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating and the Gross axle weight rating for the vehicle. The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating or GVWR is one of the most crucial safety factors of your RV. The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) is the maximum allowable weight of the vehicle when fully loaded for travel including, all passengers, all cargo, fluids, and aftermarket accessories. You must not exceed the total GVWR for your vehicle. The Gross Axle Weight Ratings or GAWR is the maximum weight that should ever be placed on a given axle. The GAWR divided by two is the maximum axle rating for each end of the axle.
