    Not sure if this helps but I have a 2014 Bounder 35k and I run at 90psi on all six tires. My ride 

    is very comfortable. Check the side wall on your tires for recommended pressure

    I once had a 2015 Sunseeker that was brand new when we bought it, only 350 miles on it then.

    It road awful and steering was horrendous. My mechanic told me it had to loosen up , and it did 

    around 5000 miles. It was night and day.

    Don't go by what is stamped on the side wall. If you can find someone to do it get a four wheel weigh and then refer to the tire manufacturer's documentation for the proper inflation. Essentially if 85 lbs is required for front tires then both tires are inflated to that number. Same thing for the rear tires depending on weight.

    We have been to two rallies and got weighed both times. The first time we ended up reducing our psi by 15 lbs in the front to 85 psi. The back was fine at 100 psi. Second time and a different tech gave me the same results. It made quite a difference in the handling of the rig. The banging however is very common in the Class "A". We just changed our front shocks to Bilsteins and that made a significant difference with less banging but it still happens on occasion.  It's a total design flaw and likely why they now offer liquid springs as an upgrade. Ours is a 2020 Bounder 35K

    Yes, side wall psi Is good but use the yellow label on the rv for proper pressure.
