any hints for starting PSI on 2017 44B Aspire?

Go by the placard inside your coach (next to the driver's seat) until you can get your coach weighed.

I've had mine weighed while at Spartan training. now it is a 15 but my tire pressure was 123 in the fronts and 85 in the rears.

First load your coach as you would travel.

Weight the coach, then look up the proper air pressure to weight of your tire manufactures inflation chart.

If you want to guess, there is an air chart sticker behind the drivers seat on the left console, but the coach will probably ride rough at the posted PSI.

Like said here, best to get it weighed on all individual wheel position. You can go to Loves, or a TA truck Stop and pull on the CAT scale and get the Gross weight of each Axel, Front, Drive, and Tag. From there I divided the gross weight by 2 to get an average of each position (drive axle may need divided by 4 depending on the chart). I then added a few hundred pounds because both sides will not be exact. Most of the time the numbers will be less than the sticker behind the drivers seat like Chuck said, but your drive and ride will be much better.

I pulled on the scale twice with one side on the scale, centered as best possible, and the other side off the scale to get individual position numbers, the moved around and did the opposite side. I had it weighed at Spartan last fall, and the numbers were very close to what I had - no pressure adjustment needed.

The Escapees club in Livingston Tx and NIRV in Lewisville Tx have individual scales. The OP, I believe is running a larger tire on the front (IFS) than us classic Aspire owners. So the numbers post above are probably off. I would run the placard pressures until you have the coach loaded and weighed. The placard is set up for max load

I have that model and year, and run 118 on the fronts and 90 on the drive and tag (even tho I could run 85 according to the chart). Photo of report below. That's with full fuel & water, empty other tanks, us on board and all our stuff loaded (we full time). Done by NIRVC in Atlanta.
