• Wear on Boat Trailer Tires After Changing Tires to Higher Load Rating
• Theoretically, the C Range tires would last longer than the B Range tires, but there are so many factors that play into trailer tire wear that it is impossible to say how much longer they should last. Some of the things that play into tire wear are overloading the tire's weight capacity, not keeping the tires inflated to the recommended psi, and not observing the tire's speed rating. Your tires should have their weight capacity and recommended psi stamped on the tire wall. If your tires...

• Setting Maximum and Minimum Tire Pressure Limits For a TPMS System With Notification Alarms
• The TPMS that came on your 2022 Rockwood Mini Lite 2204S allows you to manually set the minimum and maximum tire pressure limits similar to how the TST TPMS for RVs # TST-507-RV-4-C does. You will want to fill your tires to the 65psi that is indicated on your tires. This should be done when the tires are cold to ensure proper pressure. I do recommend using a separate Tire Gauge like the # TMG-Sport to ensure that the sensors are accurate as well. Do remember that as the tires warm up...

• What Is The Pressure Reading Source For The Valterra RV Water Pressure Regulator
• The gauge on the Valterra RV Water Pressure Regulator and Gauge for RVs # A01-1124VP is going to display the pressure of the "city water" coming into your RV. If the gauge is showing higher than 40-50 psi then either the gauge is not properly working or the regulator itself is not dropping the city water pressure down to a safe level. If you see low pressure on the gauge then you'll know the issue is with the city water source and not with your RV.

• Water Pressure Regulator With a Replaceable Pressure Gauge
• I recommend upgrading to the Valterra Adjustable Water Regulator # A01-1117VP. It uses a higher quality gauge and they offer a Replacement Gauge # A01-1125 in the event it is damaged. You will also be able to adjust your water pressure with this regulator. The gauge on the Valterra RV Water Pressure Regulator # A01-1124VP is not adjustable or replaceable. The entire regulator must be swapped out.

• Maximum Allowed Incoming Water Pressure for Camco RV Water Pressure Regulator CAM40064
• The Camco RV Water Pressure Regulator with Gauge, part # CAM40064, can handle your incoming water pressure of 120-psi. In fact this part is rated for use with incoming water pressure as high as 125-psi. The regulator will reduce this to a much more manageable water pressure of 40- to 50-psi. The included gauge will show the incoming pressure range. Green indicates incoming pressure is in the 40-to-50-psi range , with under-40-psi shown on the yellow band and over-50-psi shown in the red...

• Should Air Bag Helper Springs Be Inflated Before Applying Trailer Tongue Load
• You'd be better off hitching the trailer or loading the truck bed or the vehicle's cargo area before adding or removing air from the system. The trailer tongue weight or cargo loaded in/on the vehicle will cause the rear end of the vehicle to squat. You can then add air as needed to even out the ride height between the front and rear vehicle axles. If you run a consistent trailer load, I guess you could use a tire gauge to determine the proper air pressure, then pressurize the system to...

• Air Suspension Enhancement System For 2017 Toyota Tundra
• Since the Air lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate # AL88299 does not come with a gauge for the cab of your 2017 Tundra, you can use a pressure gauge to check how much pressure you have in the system. If the loads you are carrying will not vary a lot, using a manual gauge would probably work for you. If you want to be able to change the amount of pressure you have in the springs from the comfort of your truck cab or when you are outside, I recommend an air compressor system like part # AL25980....

• What Is The Maximum Recommended PSI For The Valterra Adjustable Water Regulator A01-1117VP
• Water pressure above 60 PSI is not recommended for the # A01-1117VP. If it was pushed to 100 PSI this could have caused damage to the gauge. At this point it will likely need to be replaced.

• PSI Pressure through the Sandwich Adapter and is Flow Lost in Engine Oil Cooler Kit # D15405
• I spoke with my contact at Derale regarding the Engine Oil Cooler Kit, # D15405. He stated that typical pressure through the sandwich adapter on a vehicle at 3,500 RPM is 50 to 60 psi on a normal system and up to 90 on a high flow/high volume system. The adapter itself can easily manage that amount of pressure. He went on to state that any time a component like this is added to a system there will be some flow loss and oil pressure lost but with this system, it will be a minute loss and...

• Correct PSI Tire Pressure for ST205/65-10 Special Trailer Tire
• The correct psi pressure for any special trailer tire, the ST type like # AM1HP52 that you referenced, is indicated right on the tire's sidewall. Any given tire's ability to support its rated weight capacity depends on inflation to this cold tire pressure. We have your tire size in several weight load ranges and the more weight a tire can handle the more pressure it requires to be able to handle that weight. For example, Loadstar # AM1HP56 requires 90-psi to meet its weight rating of 1650-lbs. If...

• How Much Will Tire Pressure Change From Cold To Hot On a Ford F-550 Super C Chassis?
• The tire pressures called for either by the Chassis, RV or Tire manufacturer are the cold inflated tire pressures. There is no need to adjust the tire pressures while you drive unless you are travelling very long distances and in different climates. If that is the case I recommend when you stop for gas or food stops to verify the pressures after the tires have had a chance to cool off. If you are looking for a warning to set for a TPMS # TM98FR do note that tire pressure increases by roughly...

• What Should High & Low Pressure Alerts be on Tires For TST TPMS TST-507
• While there isn't a chart, I did check with TST regarding the low and high pressure alerts, and what they should be for the tires with the TST TPMS - Color Display - Signal Booster - 6 Internal Tire Sensors # TST-507-INT-6-C. According to them, the low tire pressure alarm should be set approximately 10% below your normal tire pressure, and the high pressure alarm should be set approximately 25% above your normal tire pressure.

• Recommended Tire Pressure for a Tire Size 20.5 x 8 - 10
• The tires in your size that we offer have varying pressure ratings depending on their load capacity. For example, if you look at the tires in your size shown on the link I have included you will see that those rated for Load range E, such as # AM3H490, have a specified pressure of 90-psi; those rated as Load range C, such as # AM3H400, have a pressure rating of 50-psi. Trailer tires will indicate their required inflation pressure on the sidewall of the tire. This is usually stated as a...

• Operating Pressure and Temperature for Travel Trailer Tires
• Trailer tires always indicate their rated psi-pressure on the sidewall. Trailer tires should ALWAYS be inflated to this COLD psi rating under all conditions. It is never appropriate to under- or over-inflate a trailer tire for any reason, such as to compensate for extremes of temperature. Any inflation pressure other than the rated maximum will tend to lead to the tire overheating, and overheating is the single most-common cause for trailer tire failure. The tire you referenced, part #...

• Should I Use The Tire Pressure Recommended By The Tire Manufacturer or RV Manufacturer?
• You will need to inflate your Hercules tires to 95 psi as stated on the tire. Grand Design put the information on their information sticker based on the tires they installed. With changing to the higher capacity tire which requires more pressure you will need to go with the tire manufacturers recommended tire pressure. Typically a trailer wheel will not have a maximum pressure rating. The tire and valve stem are going to be the parts which are limited on tire pressures. The installer who...

• Can Trailer Tires Be Aired Down for Better Traction on Icy Pavement
• We recommend running the vast majority of trailer tires at the pressure rating listed on the tire sidewall, and for very good reason. You can lower the tire pressure to increase the tire's contact surface with the pavement if you wish, however by doing so you are reducing the tire's capacity by an unknown degree. The tire's listed capacity is at the pressure rating listed on the tire's sidewall, if that pressure is lowered you won't know what the tire's capacity actually is which could...

• Which 205/75-14 Inch Trailer Tires Are Inflated to 75 psi
• For a 205/75-14 tire, a load range D tire such as the Kenda # AM10235 would typically be inflated to 75 psi. A 205/75-14 tire in load range D will have a 2200 lbs per tire/4400 lbs per axle weight capacity, so you'll want to make sure the loaded up and ready to tow trailer weighs less than the combined tire capacity. Rather than what the RV specs say, I'd recommend following the recommendations of the tire manufacturer, and keeping the tires inflated to the maximum pressure listed on the...
