If you really want to start a kerfluffle then start a discussion about the proper tire inflation pressure, or how long to run your tires. Based on a discussion with another guru, it was demonstrated the posted chart could be interpreted far differently than I would interpret.
So, in my unasked for opinion, the proper air inflation pressure is to weigh the coach and use the chart for the tire and the weight to determine the proper pressure at ambient.
It was pointed out by @"bikestuff" that the very top of the chart clearly shows inflation pressures recommended by Newell.
In my opinion, those are pressures recommended for coaches being made today. After all, they weigh over 60K lbs.
If you inflated my tires to that pressure, it would be like driving a buckboard wagon. Our rig weighs about 52 fully wet.
Maybe the two interpretations did not need to be pointed out. But again, we never know who, with what experience level, will read any of our posts.
