Thank you, takes an Adelaide expert to finally get it into my head, well done Steven.

Good onya mate, it’s always great to have a simple rule like this to get things right 👍🍻

Well explained Stephen Brilliant 👍

This is well presented Steve, but I have to disagree with some of your advice. A minor point is that (and you started to make this, but weren't very clear) whenever tyre pressures are being discussed it's always the cold values, never the warmed-up values, that are relevant. The warmed-up values are important for checking that the cold values are correct. The warm value should be 4-6 psi above the cold value, at whatever driving you're doing. >6 above and your cold pressure is too low,

Great and simple tip 👍

Interesting mix - kph & psi. Best of both worlds?!

Thank you so much for this. Does the same principle also relate to the towing vehicle?

Thanks for the video. Do the same rules apply for dual axle?

Thanks for the video, very useful. A question from a novice who will be getting their 1st van in a couple of months is: once you have let the tyres down to accommodate the driving surface, is there a portable compressor device you could recommend that I can use to put air back in the tyres once the road surface changes ?

Hi, shouldn't the tire pressure for a single axle (2 tires) van be higher than a dual axle (4 tires) van?

Air pressure in tyres is probably the most talked about & controversial subject in caravanning. Im not saying that half the speed limit is the psi figure, only that there are many other experts who say more or less is right. Jayco for instance recommend around 42 psi foe 15inch dual axil caravans. Insurance companies investigate tyre pressures if there is an accident & could void the claim if you have the wrong pressues, whatever that's supposed to be.

“Maximum speed on Bitumen should be 100kmh” Haha funny! Why? Well of course if it’s early June and your driving up the Stuart Highway and you want to be the first person with a caravan to reach Daly Waters then 120kmh is pretty common. I witnessed some crazy driving.

Whilst this is honest info I also need to disagree. The more accurate method for black top driving is to obtain the following; your van GTM plus the maximum psi & load rating on the tyre sidewall. Now do the following equation; max psi/max load rating. Take the answer to that & multiply it by either half your GTM for single axle or quarter for dual axles. For my dual axle van its: 80psi/1150kg = 0.069 then 0.069x640 (that's 25% of my GTM 2560KG) = 44.5psi

😂 expert... he even left the yard and tired this... 30kmh in soft sand driving a 3.5t van 😅

Tyre, not tire.

This is really bad advice... 50psi may be way too low for single axle hybrids which may need 70psi or so otherwise blowouts are a big risk. Use the load rating and max pressure on sidewall to calculate starting cold pressure and adjust using 4psi guide.

Hey mate great video. Very informative, I just bought a new caravan. I drive it on asphalt it says max tyre pressure is 65 psi for each tyre, dual axle van. Should I stick to that pressure or lower pressure? Also is 100 khs the fastest I should drive when towing? I tend to stick around 90.agai many thanks

I drive as slow as anyone, and 60kmh is too slow for most gravel roads
