Sounds plausible enough, and seems backed up by the other documentation I’ve already mentioned.

What I haven’t brought up, because I didn’t use it after I got it, was that I have an engineering degree. Structural Engineering was all about defining the problem and sizing the solution plus a factor of safety to solve it. “Set it to 80 psi and don’t question it” offends me.
So the easy solution here is inflate YOUR tires to whatever pressure makes YOU happy, that YOU think won't beat your rv to death & is not offensive to the engineer in YOU.....
DONE!
