So now I think I'm wrong about side to side weight distribution. Maybe the passenger/door side does have more weight, from all the kitchen cupboards, frig, sun shade, water heater and water pressure tank. The other side has the main water tank (and batteries), but we usually drain all the water from it before traveling.

Although I like the softer/quieter ride at 50psi, I'll try raising the heavy (?) side tire to 65psi to preserve the tire.

Would like to weigh each side but don't know where I can get that done. The CAT scales I've been using will not work ...
I wanted to lower the tire pressure to 50 PSI also, to get a smoother ride, but I contacted Goodyear and was told NOT to deviate from the posted 65 PSI as it could affect the tire wear and also void the warranty. So maybe that is your problem.
