living well in Texas
in preparation to our upcoming long road trip next week, i have been checking brakes, greasing bearings, checking inflation pressures in the rv and removing unwanted baggage (excess weight)
previously i had the rv all set up nice and tight on the landing jacks up front and shored up tight out back on 4x6 lumber. THis was great, very little rocking side to side as i walk around the rv.
yesterday i checked all four tires and they ranged in the 74-77 psi
so i bumped em all up to 80 and finshed up.
Well today the wife said it felt like we had loosened up some cause the rv was moving more as i walked around.
then it HIT me a few minutes ago going over the pre trip checklist. adding a few PSI lifted the rear just enough to let the weight transfer back to the sidewalls and VIOLA we got shake and shimmy
i know only a few here call thier rvs home. but think of this more as a PSA to check your PSI on your trailer tires each trip
