The two things I would suggest you do:

First, load the vehicle for travel and then run it across a set of scales to get an accurate weight. After this set the tire pressure to that recommended by the tire manufacturers weight to pressure tables.

Second, with the vehicle loaded for travel have the front end alignment checked. Chances are the previous owner never had that done.

Enjoy the journey.

Thanks! After our first local trip we did take it and have two new front tires and have it aligned because the older tires did have some wear on the inside and she handled very dumpy (not sure if everyone understand what I mean when I say that, but just really sloppy handling). They were also two different brands. Now she drives wonderfully.

This RV is my first time driving a big rig (big to me anyway) or any truck really that wasn't just a one off and I was very comfortable driving it. Heading out last week she really did handle pretty well on the highways. It was our first drive on major highways.

I did have hubby drive up on the scales and weigh this trip. I need to sit down and figure out the tire pressure. It was weighed with everything we will carry for each trip.

I appreciate the help! Thank you!
