The 30-Second Tire Pressure Check That Could Save Your Trip

If you only do one thing before a trip, do this. Most RVers skip it. It's the number-one cause of fifth-wheel blowouts.

Your sidewall says max PSI. That's max. What you actually want is the pressure rated for your loaded weight. Big difference. I'm at 110 right now. Cold. Before sunrise. Never check after driving.

Every tire, every trip. Not the day before. The morning of. Heat changes pressure by ten PSI easy. Don't trust your last reading.

Bonus — write your target pressures on a piece of tape inside your basement door. My wife forgets. I forget. The tape doesn't.
