Truck Camper- What tire pressure??

[jeepit]

Gentleman, I am picking up the New Lance Lite 835 camper today and I am wondering what tire pressure to be at. I only have 8 miles distance from dealer to my house. I have 65lbs in the rear tires at this time. It looks like Max is 80lbs? What are you running at? Should I be at max?? What about the front tire inflation? There is a nice breeze today so I'll have my first experience driving down I43 with it.

What is the weight of the camper?



I would air the ties to max cold pressure and adjust down from there.

Dave, Camper is 2200lbs dry weight. It handled real nice and I was going against a stiff wind. I think I need to turn the front ranchos up a few notches seemd like it wanted to buck alittle on the rough pavement. I had front shocks on 3, back was set at 9. My wife and I broke the camper in tonite (not what you think) and played the first cribbage game :-laf

We have a travel trailer with 1000lbs bumper weight plus about 800lbs in the bed (toys) anyway I always run my tires at max which is 80psi cold. Have a great time with your camper. Boy this Rving is fun!!!

Congratulations on your new Lance. With the camper on and loaded for camping weigh the front end and rear end on a scale. Use the tire inflation chart provided with the truck to determined the correct air pressure. I believe the tire inflation schedule is on the drivers door jamb. You should be near the 80 psi max.
