Weighing In
Just completed the Escapees Smartweigh service in Livingston, TX and wanted to share our numbers. Our weighmaster, Kris, was familiar with the Lazy Daze brand, commenting that LD’s are typically well-balanced motorhomes. Our 2017 MB specs are:

GCWR: 22,000
GVWR: 14,500
GAWR Front: 5,000
GAWR Rear: 9,600

Our actual numbers are as follows:

LF: 2,250
RF: 2,150
LR: 4,650
RR: 4,500
GVW: 13,550
Toad GVW: 3,650
GCW: 17,200

The weighmaster said you should use the same pressures per axle, even if each corner is different. So, based on the Michelin load and inflation chart for Agilis CrossClimate tires, our pressures should be set at 63 psi in the front tires and 75 psi in the rears. Hopefully this helps others, however;

Disclaimer: these are our numbers based on the way we are traveling and may not reflect the way you travel (YMMV).  I encourage you to perform a four-corner weigh on your rig.

With both our current and previous 27' rear bath coaches that 75-lbs rear and 65-lbs front gave the best handling and steering results, particularly when pulling a toad.

Good to know, Mike.  I came up with the 63 in front by extrapolating the chart. Technically, it should be 65 but I’ve noticed a little less pressure in the front tends to slightly improve handling.
