Tyre Pressures

Generally speaking yes, but I'm sure there will be quite reasonable exceptions.
...So our car handbook with tyre pressures for our vehicle are not really correct? that would be interesting to accident investigators,or when pulled over for roadside checks
...but dont they say 'laden', 'unladen' etc?
om sure my old Audi handbook had differing recommended pressures based on load or number of occupants.
dont see why this cant be used for MH...though basing on actual axle weights is far better
..so your tyre pressures are adjusted each time you travel depending on "axle load"

JVB.....no, but each owner, for a given van, will have their own 'running weight and axle weights'....there could be very large variations yet still be within the capabilities (and the legal limits) of the vehicle.
for example, another owner of our type of van might run at half a tonne or more different to us....in which case, it makes sense for both these owners to know their weights and use the appropriate pressures, which might be considerably diferent.
for both to both use some abitrary 'handbook' figure might mean neither van being run at appropriate pressures.
just another good reason why all vans (including caravans) should be weighed....
its not black and white, you know....

...I am sure comercial vehicles from say the Stobart group have there TPs altered when traveling loaded or empty

In the end I decided on a compromise solution. I restored the front tyres to their correct pressures but left the rears as they were especially as many people seem to drive with much lower pressure than recommended by Bailey. It was a bit of a faff removing
the cable ties and wheel trims and then the sensors especially in the freezing conditions.David
