That is a great resource, You might consider putting a copy there in the resource listing for an easy find.Here is a Michelin brochure and at the end is the tire pressure charts for all RV size tires.

You have your tire size and type, find that chart. Then you have either single wheel or dual, your drive axle will be the dual. You can use the highest weight on each axle to find the recommended pressure and use it for both sides.I have a hard time with the calculations - confusing to me.
The only problem we’ve had with CAT scales is that they usually can’t (or won’t) do corner weights. You will get axle weights. In that case, a good rule of thumb is to use 55% of an individual axle weight as a “corner weight.” It isn’t as good as getting actual corner weights, but will get you reasonably close.And for weights you might consider a CAT Scale at many truck stops.

Agreed, but better than operating in the dark. I usually add 5psi from the chart just to allow for any number of variables plus cooler temps in the morning.The only problem we’ve had with CAT scales is that they usually can’t (or won’t) do corner weights.
