The tyre pressures on my motorhome are 75psi. The pumps at my local garages only go up as far as 60psi. Having tried Halfords, their pumps either do not go up as far as 70psi, or the power cable length is only 3 metres which is not long enough to reach to the rear wheels.
Can anyone suggest a pump that is powerful enough with a suitably long cable?
Many thanks.

I agree the RING RAC900 is a very good bit of kit, I have one for our 65 PSI caravan tyres.
Note this is not a low powered unit able to operate at the low Amps available from 12 VDC dash sockets, it peaks at 30 Amps so needs to clip directly onto a battery's posts. I use a small Ah portable battery rather than struggle getting to our car batteries.
We leave that at home when travelling and then if needed, use a cycle track pump, easily able to reach 120 psi and ideal for adding a few psi topping up amount of air.
Ours is an aging Joe Blow, another very good piece of kit;
Watch the pricing of these this can vary greatly, often one of the best is when Halords have a special offers on, not today.

Recently purchased a Michelin Superfast from Halfords to take caravan tyres to 64psi and it lives up to its name tops up in no time at all. Its mains powered for use at home, have a Ring in the car but that struggles above 54psi. Its on the expensive side at £75 it was £64 last month but excellent piece of kit and max is 80psi
