You could just run the tires at max pressure listed on the tire sidewall. It may ride a slight bit rougher, and potentially have the tread wear in center a slight bit more. But for a short trip and assuming the tires are good shape, the max pressure will work and be safe. It won't hurt the tire to be at max pressure.

Some where in the drivers area there should be a sticker that states what the tire pressure should normally be. After weighing you can adjust to the real weight.

Considering the coach model year, 1994, be a bit careful with the posted data. The tires as installed, and listed on the sticker, by the chassis builder at the time of manufacture along with the maximum axle weight is what was used to established the recommended pressures. Fast forward to 2017, and if the tires you now have on the coach are different in size, load range, number of belts and such the original numbers might not be correct.

What you can do is use the maximum axle weight limits (which should be listed on the sticker) and cross reference to the tire manufacture's inflation tables for a cold tire pressure. As long as you're not grossly overloaded it should be a safe cold pressure but add a few extra pounds. Over inflated may effort ride quality while under inflating could damage the tires.
