Thanks for this l haven't refilled yet but would have gone by the door details l saw the other day.
When CB comes home l have lent him to a friend l shall set about looking for a weighbridge.
Just to clarify l should fill him up water tanks & general junk then go to the weigh bridge? Once weighed base his tyres on that despite the fact he probably wont be used that full?

Full tanks water and fuel, any passengers who would normally travel, any bulky items, generator, scooter etc etc. Better to be slightly overinflated than under.
It does intrigue me however that you never see heavy goods vehicles, coaches etc pulling in to a filling station to adjust pressures after they have offloaded 50 odd passengers, 10 cars, 10 tonnes of whatever. But I guess their tyres are much stronger than MHomes etc.

You're nearly there! It's what I call 'getting the MH into travel trim'. Exactly as you might wish to use it.

Is it not adviseable to go direct to your own Tyre manufacturer for clarification?
Michelin gave me somewhat different recommended pressures for very similar weights (max and actual) you quote from Continental. Tyre sizes the same.
edit: sorry- just seen that tha's what you've said BUT does this comment:
As a general rule for pressures on this tyre, every 100kg added from the base figure of 1490kg at 3bar (43.5psi) will require an increase of 0.25bar(3.6psi) in pressure up to a maximum of 2060kg at 4.5bar (65psi) "
apply just to Continental RTyres or all tyres including Michelin??

think i wil go with the email to michelin as 59-80psi is a huge range and a great deal of tread worn unnecessarily! at £200 a pop for a tyre mmmm
thanks for the info - concur with the dont go to tyre fitter (ATS in my case) as they dont have a clue - and the door panel could be anything from a panel van to my 5Tonnes - as they come on a production line as half of the end product ...
found a weighbridge now just got to find a time we can all go together and get weighed - i personally am not looking forward to that bit - might need more air in my side
just remembered chelston did my last service and on checking my tyres saw that they were al 70 psi and they said that this was too much on the rear 4 tyres and that they should be 50psi! so deflated them - where did they get their info from - as most so far are lower in front than on the tag tyres?
