I guess I'm with the majority. My '06 Monty has aluminum wheels which have the 110 to 120ft lb spec. I use 115 lbs (in the middle). I don't usually retighten since I'm usually the one that has last retorqued, otherwise I'd loosen, then retorque. Just make sure you recheck the torque at 100, then 250 miles. I understand this is to ensure the torque is holding so don't loosen first during these rechecks. Eventually, the torque will hold (an immediate click when checking the torque).
I briefly delivered trailers for a living and right out of the factory, the torque wasn't "set" (immediate click). Then there were some trailers that never seemed to set by the time I dropped them at their destination. I think it depended on the distance towed. I average about 400 miles per trip so I typically had at least two chances at rechecking. For this reason, I highly recommend rechecking especially after the lug nuts have been removed recently.
