Tire Pressure

The correct pressure to carry in your tires is probably the most mis-understood topic concerning vehicles. I suggest you carefully read what Michelin says about tire pressure. They know more about tires than you, your friends or the mechanic you trust.


Now that you understand that the number printed on the tire does not mean that your tires should be carrying that pressure, you are prepared to determine what pressure you should carry by reading this topic.

Weighing Your Lazy Daze

You need to know the weight on each wheel, each axle and the all up weight. If you are towing, you should also weigh the toad. The LD should be weighed with the gas and propane tanks full and the fresh water about 1/2 full. All gear normally carried and all humans should be aboard for the weigh in. You should seek out a segmented scale, rather than a platform scale.


This document explains in detail how to obtain all of the needed weights. You will want to download and print it out. The Single Axle RV is the section for your Lazy Daze.
