Yep, agree with Rob
If you run the info through Aidan's post http://wiki.club8090.co.uk/index.php/Ge ... ssure_calc it works out just as the factory expected. Can't fault them (the factory or Aidan) and very handy if you change tyre size...

If it's any help I can tell you what the lottery numbers WON'T be :lol:
What a long strange trip it's been

It would help if you stated whether your camper is air or water cooled. Air cooled campers have higher tyre pressures than water cooled particularly in the rear tyres. My water cooled camper has tyre pressures as stated by Herr Volkswagen in 7/83 :-

FRONT: 2.5 (35) REAR: 3.3 (47) SPARE: 3.3 (47)

PRESSURES: BARS/(PSI)

Search & ye shall find! :)
