With a Motor Home the only times one needs to deviate from the vehicle manufacturer's recommendations is when they find a wheel position overweight and cannot balance it out by shifting cargo. Or, when the tires are changed to another size different than the OE tires. Then there is a procedure to reset the recommended inflation pressures to the load carried by the previous tires as displayed on the certification label.
Just because a unit has heavy truck tires does not mean they are serviced like trucker's tires. They were fitted by the manufacturer in accordance with FMVSS standards and the recommendations were set in accordance with those regulations not the trucking industry regulations.
If your vehicle's certification label says it comply's with FMVSS standards read the following references because they are what was used to certify your vehicle.
