He is giving you a slightly harsher ride to be certain that you are not going to build heat or overload your tire. I tend to do the same.

Keep the front tires inflated between 65 & 80psi and the rears at 80psi and you'll be fine.
If you experiment, you'll probably find a pressure for the fronts between 65 & 80 that gives good handling with a less 'harsh' road feel. For my class B it was 65psi and it's 70psi for my TV.
(All this is assuming, of course, that the tires on your class C are the correct load range and size as original equipment. When I bought my class B, the prior owner had cheap, passenger car tires installed! Not good!)
