The TPMS has a safe percent over and under to chart by. Set the TPMS warnings by those %s. So do I let air out of my tires when they go over after driving for hours? Absolutely not. Then when my coach sits a site when they cool down add air? You’ll be chasing that forever. I don’t know of anyone who does that when they drive their car or truck. My dual inside and outside tires only differed by at most 2-3psi. Not worth messing with.
I also don’t know anyone who weighs their coach at stages of their trip to adjust air pressure. Especially when you have eaten a few dogs, burgers and buns and used water from your tanks, lower fuel level, used propane, kids ate too many s’mores... all adds up to different weights. Good luck with that.
