So if you can give me here maximum load and needed pressure for that of tires.
And GAWR ( gross axle weight ratings) of Travel trailer and number of wheels and axles, I can calculate the pressure for you. Will give a picture of filled in spreadsheet in my answer.
Best would be seperatate weighed wheel( pair) loads in the loading you drive.
But this is probably not done yet.

Now THIS is a good example of having too much time on your hands.
I run all of mine at the max pressure indicated on the tire and get 70K miles out of Michelins on my truck. The Load Range E Maxxis on the trailer gets 80lbs. That's good enough for me.
