I keep to 30psi all round...some go to 33, not much in it tho
when the van is on i tend to set the suspension to med if just on motorways, but soft if on "A" or "B" roads...

My van weighs 1450 and i run at 50psi i know this sounds high but but if you look at your tyres it gives you the max weight and psi
on the wall of the tyre , think mines something like 2800kg and max psi 68lb |

my bad...i misread this post, Caravan tyres are usually quite a high pressure, i was talking about paj tyre pressure.
best to try and look for a forum which is related to your van ..ie: Swift/Lunar/wotevva

Hi mate, I usually keep to 30psi allround , but put the rears up to 35psi when I'm towing ,have a twin axle Avondale Landranger, fairly hefty, bit I find this works fine . But always remember to put them back down when you've finished your caravan trip, you could wear the middle of your treads otherwise. Cheers Mike r |

My old single axle '85 Swift Challenger had a 1000kg MTPLM and the recommended tyre pressure was 39PSI (as indicated by the original stickers on the wheel arches!). The new van has something around 60PSI (but thats 1500kgs MTPLM on alloys).

34 then ................just don't forget to let the rears down to 30 when you go into town ....especially if you boot it out of a roundabout
