Any thoughts on the accuracy or otherwise of the dashboard warning of tyre pressure?
Brand new Accordo 105 (250 miles on clock) was driven to garage for fuel - noted warning low tyre pressure 3.5 bar "rear right" - which I took to mean offside - ie right side from driver seat. Checked it and and inflated to 5.1 bar.
Took Harvey the RV for an inaugural spin and again low pressure light and warning showing 3.4 - either gauge or valve faulty or a not so slow puncture?.
After just 45 minutes, returned home and gauge now reading 5.4 bar which was ok as tyres were warm.
Left it for 3 hours and went out to check while cold - yep warning light "rear right" but showing as 5.4bar. Checked with pump gauge which showed 5.2 so hardly low.
On a hunch, checked rear nearside and pump showed 4.95bar - not really low either but dash warning not on for "rear left".
I have checked tyresafe motorhome site and they suggest 5.5bar for rear based on max allowable rear axle weight of 1900kg - as our MH is very light on onboard kit, we're well below .
Advice welcomed please
Thanks
