Thor Vegas Tire Pressure

I am new to this stuff, so I have a lot of dumb questions. I have gone thru the Thor Vegas owners manual several times, and it does not specify a tire pressure. It refers you to the sticker at the drivers position. That sticker says 75 psi front (single), and 85 psi rear (double). I have a copy of a manual rewrite (Ed Felkers) that calls for 75psi front, and 65psi rear. That makes a lot of sense from a logical standpoint, but it does disagree with the Vegas sticker. Does anyone have more information on proper tire pressure for a 2017 Thor Vegas or similar RUV.

I have a 2017 Axis and run 75 front and 80 rear. It has a E450 chassis.

That's exactly what the sticker behind my drivers seat states. Just looked !

Have you checked the max pressure on the tire sidewall. My old MHs, 16" tires stated 80 Lbs max. I haven't looked at my Axis tire sidewalls yet.

If your going to start dropping pressures below the manufactures recomendations, your going to, at least, get axle weights and consult the tire charts.

Underinflated tires blow out.

The max pressure listed on the tires is 80 psi. So now I have three sources of tire pressure that all disagree. On a different but same issue, I was surprised to see that the dual tires on the rear have a single loading point. The two wheels are tied together as if they are one. That seems insane. If one tire loses pressure, they both do.
