Lunar Premier 592 HELP ME !!!!!! (1 Viewer)

[FrankCoffi]

Hi all,
If you own one of these you'll know how difficult it is to get any information on tyre pressures ???
If you could help me I would be much oblidged,at the moment I have 6 bar in the rear and 5.5 bar in the front,does this seem right as I went to ATS and got them to pump up my tyres as no garage around me had a machine that would go to that high a pressure and the fitter said that he thought that that was a bit high ????


I,m about to add OKO tyre sealent to my tyres to stop an on road puncture , as to attempt to change a tyre on the narrow roads when you get a puncture in Devon is taking your life in your hands.
I have breakdown cover with the AA but having to wait for them to come and change the wheel whilst you have closed a narrow road is not practible and there is likely to be a lot of anger and frustration
caused !

Just to add to this post,I've removed the spare wheel from under the chassis and placed it in the side locker,as it took ATS over fifteen minutes to lower the wheel and remove it. Me being over seventy
stood no chance of being able to remove it myself. I'm looking to find a way of fittiing the spare wheel to the fixtures that take the cycle carrier on the back of my M/H ?? Anyone done this fix,if you have or have any other suggestion ( clean please ) let me know.

Thanks in advance for any help you are able to supply,regards Frank.

i have a lunar 580 and there is a sticker in the door saying 5.5 bar all round. thats what i stick to, although there are lots of posts on here with lots of advice. i had new tyres fitted last year and the fitters looked a bit dubious at the pressure, and admitted to be wary when inflating them ( sh*tting themselves was the actual phrase used)

Thanks for that Downewf, it's nice to know that quite a few m/h'ers have the same problem with tyre pressures ?
I will drop all my pressures down to 5.5 bar and see how she handles. Hope to catch you sometime at one of the rallies. My regards Frank.

There are lots of threads on here offering advice re tyre pressures but you will find that the only way to achieve the correct pressure is to weigh each axle and ask the relevant manufacturer.
Continental publish a chart .. its possibly in the downloads here.
Other have contacted Michelin.

On my lunar 622 I wrote to Michelin and they advised max 80 psi rear and around 60 to 65 on the front.

I agree with that. Load up the van for a trip away and then get each axle weighed. We use Continental Camper tyres and if you give them the size and type they will email you a chart setting out the tyre pressures you should use for different axle weights. They are much lower than that recommended by Fiat. Once we got the correct pressures the ride was so much better. At Fiat's recommended pressure our fillings were rattling.

I work on the principle that the best organisation to ask about your tyre pressure is the one that made the tyre!

As above why rely on someone else who has a similar MH which may be loaded differently to your own. Get it weighed when full with all your kit and set the pressure accordingly to tyre manufacturers recommendations then you know its right.
