The tag I found on the side of the coach calls for 775-R15 tires and 35 PSI. Isnt that a little low on tire pressure?

My '78 Minuet came with its brand new, never on the ground spare tire and wheel -- it is a load range C, Good Year Marathon belted-bias ply tire. The inflation recommendation, according to my understanding, reflected the tandem axle configuration on the 7.3 Metre as my single axle 6.0 Metre requires the same inflation pressures according to the manual. On my single axle, however, I tend to run at the maximum inflation pressure posted on the sidewall of my Good Year Marathon load range C radials as I am within a very few pounds of my GVWR for the coach when traveling.
When you purchase new tires for your coach, ask your tire dealer for an inflation chart for your tires -- the chart should indicate the weight carrying ability of the tires at various inflation pressures. With the pressure/weight capacity chart and the GVWR rating for your coach you can arrive at a plausible minimum inflation pressure
Good luck with your Minuet!

I have been trying to collect 7.3 Metre photos in hopes of one day finding one that I can restore. Here are the some that I found on Ebay - according to the listing, the VIN is 24T9V6142 - perhaps someone could confirm for you that this is infact a 7.3 Metre Minuet as the Ebay add called it a 24 foot. BTW, you asked about value, someone paid $3550 for this one on 8/7/04.
