Motorhome tyre pressures

Hello,

I wonder if anyone else has this problem ------

Our Motorhome tyres require 79psi air to operate at their optimum.

We store our Motorhome at a Compound where we don't have access to Electricity, Air, or Water.

We can't really drive the vehicle to our home ..... roads too narrow and restricted parking.

So - to pump up the tyres I've pulled into Garages very soon after starting the drive to a Site and used their Air Pumps (accepting they might not be entirely accurate).

NOW it seems Petrol Stations have upgraded/ or amended the Air Pumps to only offer a max of 60PSI, which is insufficient for my vehicle.

The only solution I've found so far is ------ pull into a Motorway Service station - park in the Lorry parking area - check if the Lorry Petrol + Air service point does provide 79psi capacity - then go for a coffee whilst the tyres cool down & can be pumped up Cold - then drive to the Lorry Petrol/Air pump station.

This is hardly very convenient!

Buying a suitable Electric pump doesn't seem a solution as I have no electrics point at the Storage Compound.

 

Does anyone have any ideas how to solve this problem??
