With 16 inch tires you are going to be loaded very near the maximum weight per tire front and back. With tires inflated per the load/weight table for your actual weights you will want to watch for difference between tires in the same position on the drive and across the front. Low don't matter all you want to watch is the high or over temperature. Check the manufactures spec sheet for your particular tire and mounting position for the max temp.

Which TPMS? Some have recommendations in their manual.

I have to take any temperature sensor on the end of the valve stem with a grain of salt - mine is easily influenced by the sun shining on one side vs the shaded side.

I’d just drive it for a while and watch what the temps actually do. Once you’ve watched what all 6 do over maybe a thousand miles you will know what’s normal and can make a learned decision about when to worry. I was surprised to see how much my pressures and temps change while driving.

Interesting thread - I can change the TPMS on my Jeep but I am not aware of changing it on my Coach. Took it out after purchase and my TPMS kept coming on when tires reached 120psi with the high pressure warning. Never a temp warning. but the weird thing is my front left PSI always said 136 and never gave me a warning. Also when the tires dropped below 120 (on same trip), the light would go off. Sometimes the light would go off and I would check the system and all the tires would read 136psi (?). I have the coach in for some other warranty work and having them look into this. Maybe the calibration is off or faulty system.
