    Wink , Hi jlovell. The best one i 've found to date  is :-

          HEYNER BIG AIR 40L PRO 

    This goes up to 100 psi/7 bar.Copes with my M/home easily.You may have to uprate the ciggy socket though to 20.Hope this helps . Pete .

    I have one of those, had it for a few years now, works well.

    Me too......check the maximum pressure though (there are several different models) against your tyre pressures......they can be very high on caravans (mine are 65psi).

    Thanks for those comments.  My tyres are 60psi, so do need to go quite high.

    I use one of these,http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ryobi-R18I-0-Inflator-Body-Only-y/dp/B00B3FRB9Y?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage

    which is brill and no trailing cables, not cheap with a battery on top but works well. Our caravan tyres are 62psi and it easily copes with that.

    It's also a great help with our Kampa Air Awning too Laughing

    I use a Ring RAC 900, a quite robust looking unit. Only time will tell if it can stand long term my 65 psi requirement. A pair of other units could not, they simply over time became too worn to acvhieve this higher pressure not getting above 60 psi in later
    life.

    We have and use a Draper for the past 20 years and it achieves my required 65psi with no trouble. It also acts as a flasshing warning orange light and has a powerfull lamp beam.

    Double barrel footpump. No wires and no silly screw on valve connectors. 65psi easy.

    Very different to my experience, even with a Hella a reasonable quality one. Needed to switch to a single cylinder operation for such high pressure and the clip-on connector was nothing like as sound as the screw on type. It is in most cases we only need
    to top up so not be achieving high volumes where a twin has merits but achieving high pressure where relative to a single it has disadvantages. For this duty a cycle track pump has the right features, if manual pumping is required.

    Had a digital ring 12v one and found it so much hassle just to check and if necessary top up the pressure, had no problems with the manual one so far, mind you paid more for it than I did for the ring so it should be good. a real solid locking valve connector
    on it.
