Recommendation for tire inflation

I have a 32' class A, RV and I am trying to find out what you would recommend to add and maintain tire pressure in my vehicle.

Until you have your loaded for travel axle weights , and the tire manufactures inflation chart. Look for the RV chassis manufacturers inflation re-commendation decal somewhere near the drivers seat, and use that pressure.

EDIT: Perhaps I've miss read your question,
Are you after info on what type of compressor to carry ?

To try and answer your question, I just put the amount of air pressure in the tires that the load on my tires , as determined by a scales at Pilot Station near me, plus the tire manufacturer charts show they should be.

Is this the type of information you are looking for?

Are you asking about how to actually inflate the tires or what pressure you should use?

If you're talking about the physical inflation itself, it depends on a few things.

1. Do you have an onboard airline port where you can attach an air hose to inflate tires?
2. What pressure will you be running in the tires? (Tires with higher inflation pressures require different compressors than lower pressure tires.)
3. Are you looking for an inflation method for 12v or 120v?

If you give us a little more information about your question it will be easier to help you.

After reading your response Skip, I reread the OP question and I think maybe he is asking about what compressor to use.

Hi ! Welcome to IRV2! We're sure glad you joined the gang!

Others have answered your question but I wanted to say hello! I add 5PSI to the tire manufacturer's recommended inflation pressure as a fudge factor! Have fun and keep her between the ditches!

Good luck, happy trails, and God bless!

I'm thinking the same .
In that case these two links could have the info he's after.
Search will turn up more info if required.
