higher tire temps righthand side only

[Dahillbilly]

had higher temps on righthand side of RV & truck today while towing; overcast skies. Temps were running 10-15 degrees above lefthand side of RV & truck EXCEPT steer axle of truck. Never seen this before. All tires were at recommended cold psi setting. Anyone got any ideas as to why?

What was the ambient temperature? We’re in Nebraska. Was over 100 yesterday. Obviously hot road surface too.

Today traveling westbound late this morning with the sun shining on the left side tires were 108-110° whereas the right side were 96-98° Ambient air temperature was 95. Experienced same a few years ago traveling down I 15 to Vegas

The sunny side of the street.

Sun shining but also these things aren't exactly built "balanced". Our fridge is in our dining/kitchen slide which is two double-whammies of weight on the left side. Add a cupboard full of canned goods and a fridge fill of gatorade and popscicles and yeah, that side always runs a bit hotter...

Severly crowned road will cause more side thrust on the right side, more heat in the tires. Rough roads will also increase heat in tires. The right hand rut on the road is where most damage is on the road, this will also cause more heat

UP of Mi and right rut is rougher for sure will see how next leg of trip goes into lower MI on Monday.

ambient was around 80 then dropped into the upper 60's with light rain, all tire temps did drop some but right side stayed higher.
