To do this properly you torque to specs when reinstalling then after towing a couple hundred miles let them cool down, retorque & done.
To retorque you should loosen the nuts slightly then torque. DO NOT just retorque every time you stop, especially if your rv has aluminum rims, you will end up crushing the rim with the nut or eventually break off the lug bolt.
Think about it, how often do you retorque all the lug nuts on your truck? Yea! Just like everyone else, the tire dealer does it when rotating or buying new tires & they're not touched til next rotation/replacement. So why do it everyday on your rv?
