220RK right side tire hotter
My 220RK consistently has tire temps that are 4-5 degrees higher on the passenger side. I swapped the TPMS's and it confirmed the condition. I repacked the bearings and adjusted the brakes. Any ideas why I might be experiencing this?

What tires do you have on your rig and how old are they (from the date code on the sidewall)?

Yes welcome to the forum!
For me 4-5 degrees is in the noise, not something I be would worry about. Start getting into the 10-15 degrees range then you got problems to sort out.2019 GMC 3500 SRW Sierra Denali Duramax

It's very possible that the left side of the trailer is heavier than the right. On my 320MKS, the right side is heavier, by about 400 lbs, from the factory. Since we aren't loaded for full-timing yet, I wasn't going to get it weighed at Escapees, which would have given me a precise weight by tire. But just based on the factory spec sheet, my right side tires run higher and hotter than my left side tires.
This is one of the reasons than weight distribution is important.Mark & Mary. Full-timing across the USA (and Canada)!

I've found if the tires are in the sun on a long trip, the temperatures will be several degrees higher.

The tires on the sun side while travelling are always a little higher temps in my experience.
