With proper care, the performance of fuel economy and handling on the
road will be better.
Safety on the road is very important in avoiding road hazards which can
damage your tires plus obeying the speed limits.
Both stickers, VIN and TIRES ARE permanently attached to the trailer,
left front corner of exterior and easily readable from the outside of vehicle
without removing any covers.
Due to weather elements, labels may fade over time, you may wish to
record this information and keep it with your owner’s manual inside of
your coach.
Understanding Tire Pressure and Load Limits
Tire inflation pressure is the level of air in the tire that provides it with load
carrying capacity and affects the overall performance of the vehicle. The
tire inflation pressure is a number that indicates the amount of air
pressure, measured in pounds per square inch (psi), a tire requires to be
properly inflated. You will also find this number on the vehicle information
placard expressed in kilopascals (kPa) which is the metric measure used
internationally.
The listed amount of air pressure is for maximum load capacity. When
traveling with less than full weight, you may reduce air pressure slightly
for smoother ride. While traveling, your tires will get warmer, causing
pressure to rise. To get an accurate reading, you must allow tires to cool
down for three (3) hours or more without driving.
For convenience, purchase a tire pressure gauge to keep in your vehicle.
Gauges can be purchased at tire or RV dealerships, auto supply stores,
and other retail outlets.
It is recommended that the tire pressure be checked at the
beginning of each journey and at least once per week during
travel to obtain the maximum life of the tires.
