65psi is the max you can pump into the tyre.

You will have to find out what the tyre pressures are for your van,either in the hand book or maybe on the wheel arch or maybe some one on here has the same van.

Im sure you could google it,my twin axle has 36 psi in each tyre.But i would think single axle may be a bit more.Depends on weight and design of caravan.Never the less,very important that pressures are correct

i think quite a few people get muddled up by the maximum you can put in and what you ideally should put in..

Now I'm confused - our single axle Bailey (mptlm 1455 kg) requires 62 psi - according to the Bailey sticker on the van.

With them having a 'C' in the description, and it says up to 65psi, that's what I'd put in.

The 'C' is to say they're commercial rated so (I think) they should be ran at that pressure.

Mine are commercial rated and I have the 65psi in them and have not had a problem.

NO!!!!
The figure on the sidewall is the MAXIMUM pressure the tyre is capable of taking.
The caravan manufacturer will have specified the CORRECT pressure it should be at, and it will probably be around 36psi.
Your advice is potentially very dangerous.

I think you'll find that the caravan makers recommendation is for 4ply tyres as that is what they generally fit, so 36psi would be correct but if its an 8ply tyre (commercial) then it is higher. I'd expect 50psi would be near the mark. If you Give e-tyres a ring they should be able to advice you on the correct pressure.

Ok then.

Our van is rated at 1300kgs all in, so what do you think our pressures should be as we haven't the manual for it??

IICR the tyres are 175/80/R13C....

I don't know as you don't state the exact make of 'van.

And to reinforce the comment you made about what it says on the side of the tyre; your car tyres will have a similar figure on them. Do you run those at that pressure or the figure recommended by the car manufacturer?
The fact that they have "C" on them is immaterial.
