Gary,

I don't know if you have ever been to the Newell factory, but they have a chart on the wall indicating the correct tire pressures for different tire sizes. In most cases these numbers will suffice. The only problem with this method is I may carry 10,000# of horse shoes in my front bay and you carry a zip lock bag of feathers!

Jack makes a good point, weigh each tire individually and then use the tire chart which will indicate the amount of air necessary to support that amount of weight. This way you know no matter what you carry inside your coach you have your tires inflated properly. If one side of the coach weighs 200# more than the other side - when reading the tire chart use the higher of the two and inflate both tires with that amount. Each side of that axle should have the same air pressure.

Important: Check your tire pressure everyday when traveling - your life depends on it!
