Driving & Safety
1. When checking air pressure, make sure the tires are cool -
meaning they are not hot from driving, even a mile.
NOTE: If the motorhome must be driven a distance to get
air, check and record tire pressure first. Add appropriate
air pressure when reaching the pump. It is normal for tires
to heat up and the air pressure inside to go up as driven.
Never “bleed” or reduce air pressure when tires are hot.
2. Remove the cap from the valve on one tire.
3. Firmly press a tire gauge onto the valve and record reading.
4. Add air to achieve recommended air pressure.
5. If the tire is over filled, release air by pushing on the metal
stem in the center of the valve. Recheck the pressure with
the tire gauge.
6. Replace the valve cap.
7. Repeat with each tire.
8. Visually inspect the tires to ensure there are no nails, or
other objects, embedded that could poke a hole in the tire
and cause an air leak.
9. Check the sidewalls to make sure there are no gouges, cuts,
bulges, or other irregularities.
NOTE: Air pressure in a tire goes up (in warm
weather) or down (in cold weather) 1-2 pounds for
every 10 degrees of temperature change.
