			All vans have different weights. However, as a guide, the factory sticker/plate on my (heavy) Westy recommends 39psi on the fronts and 48psi on the rears, for 185 R 14 C PR tyres.

			If you want to get tyre pressures absolutely right, use the chalk method. Search for chalk and tyre pressures on youtube.
