Started out on our annual Texas trip from Lower Alabama and wow what a difference in the ride. The new Bilsteins shocks are great and the B&W brake calipers have worked great. I've maxed out the weight with the RV and toad so I bumped up my tire pressure to max cold at 110PSI befor leaving early this morning and the rig handled great with the new Bilsteins--no more sway and when big rigs passed I hardly noticed it. Went through some rough weather this morning allot of rain--we're staying overnight at Frog City RV Park in Duson, LA. It's a great place to stay right of the Interstate I-10 and it's exactly half way. We'll finish the next 8 hour drive to Burnet, TX tomorrow---Happy RViing

Not knowing what your tires are, 110 psi seems high to me, as your driving psi will increase another 10 to 15 lbs. If you got number from template on wall they usually run high with unloaded coach.
If you get your fully loaded coach weight at scales and adjust the tire pressure according to make of tires you may find a even better ride with your new Blisteins without a chance of a blow out.
Enjoy your trip and be safe.

007,
110 PSI is the cold air pressure printed on the tire. All tires have a max cold air printed on them and is the best pressure for the max load on the tire and since I didn't have a chance to weigh the coach I went with that so as not to not have an overheated tire due to insufficient pressure.
