In the posts I've seen here, some people do it religiously, others rarely, if ever check. I am sorta in between. If on an extended multi-day/week trip, I will visually inspect tires/wheels every day and check torque every 4 days or so of travel. I also follow the 3-stage torqueing described in the manual whenever removing a wheel.

Here is an excerpt from the Keystone owner's manual:


The axle and wheel assemblies of your RV are designed differently than those on your car. The overall size, weight and center of gravity of a recreational vehicle subject the wheels to pressures unique to trailering. During normal cornering, the tires and wheels experience a considerable amount of stress called “sideload”. Therefore, the lug nuts on your recreational vehicle require periodic torque maintenance.

These instructions will show you how to maintain proper lug nut torque by
following these important steps:

1. Check torque before every trip.
2. Use proper tools.
3. Follow the appropriate star pattern sequence.
4. Torque lug nuts in the correct stages and follow-up
intervals after any wheel reinstallation.
