If someone fails to do either of these they are subject to finding themselves with one or more tires having premature failure. But then I guess it will be the tire manufacturer or Thor that is at fault and not the owner of the RV.

Michelin load tables for my tires would have the "minimum" pressure for the front tires based on actual load way lower than Ford recommends. I've backed off Ford's recommendation a little (5 PSI) to soften the ride, but I wouldn't want to drop the pressure to the minimum required for the load because of other factors. While the tire may carry the load fine, it affects handling adversely. In my case it's one of the disadvantages created when the manufacturer uses tires that are much larger than required for the given load.
