My '04 Southwind has 245/70R x 19.5 tires...I would appreciate hearing from others with the same just what they believe to be the proper tire pressure.
Thank you

Go to your tire manufacturer's website and download the mumbers for your exact brand and style tires. Then take the coach and weigh it. Match the two. That's the only way to be sure.

Weighing the coach and inflating the tires per the tire manufacturers inflation tables for the actual weight is the only proper way to do it. Until you weigh it and calculate the individual axle and wheel weights, the only safe pressure to use is the pressure for the max axle capacity, as shown on the Federal Weight placard that came with the coach (usually on the inside wall next to the driver seat).
