I can't be the only one.

I use a truck tire air chuck that has a five foot hose. You connect it then stand up and away from the tire to inflate. They are not cheap but do not require much space to carry on the motorhome

[Air Conditioned Gypsy]

I bought some 5-gallon bucket lid seats from amazon and put them on Home Depot buckets. Keep one in the back of the toad, one in a storage bay and one inside the coach. I use them for tire check/inflation, wet bay work, hooking/unhooking toad, anything that I would otherwise have to bend over or kneel down.

I keep cleaning supplies in one, microfiber cloths and wax stuff in one, drop cord with light in one, so they aren't just taking up space.

Keeps my knees and back in better shape.

Regards.

I use a folding stool to sit on when I fill my tires. The problem with anything on wheels is they don't work well in dirt, gravel, mud, or grass.

Adjusting air pressure should not be anything you need more than once every 2 to 4 months.
Your primary concern is not getting low on air. With that in mind that is why I recommend a +10% margin above your minimum required cold inflation. With pressure changing a bit less than 2% for each change in morning temperature of 10F you really should be able to go weeks without needing to add air. While a + 50F temperature change is possible it would normally be infrequent and I see no reason to be worried to seeing your cold pressure +12% as that would also limit your hot pressure increase.


Now a drop of 50F is more concerning as they would use up your 10% margin but again this should be unusual.


The big advantage is that with a good TPMS you no longer have to go out and check air each morning of a travel day.


I have posted in my blog on how I turn on my TPMS monitor when I get up and by the time I have my coffee the sensors have all checked in and I can see the latest pressure readings.


A couple years ago I did a 7 week 7,000 trip Ohio > Oregon > Calgary > Ohio and only adjusted pressure once.

It's great that you guys are keeping an eye on your tire pressure.

But what kind of tires are you running that you have to check them so often?

I just got our rig out of the shed today and found the pressure in all six 22.5 tires to be right where I want them.

It's been nearly 2 years since I have changed the pressure, and then it was to drop the fronts 10 psi.

I realize the importance of a TPMS, and that works for me.

Happy Glamping.

PS. I use a door mat to kneel on when I need to get down low. Works for me.

Supervise the wife, or get a young, nimble girlfriend? :-) Take a grandchild and teach them?

I have #1,2, and 4. I never use #1 - too cumbersome but it was a gift from the well meaning DW. I don’t use it in creeper mode either because it’s too high. Need a lowboy creeper to be useful.

I use #2 if I’m going to have more than a few parts or tools involved because the under-seat tray holds more, but #4 is my favorite because of the height adjustment and swivel seat. Both of them have casters that swivel for good maneuverability.

#3 looks interesting and I suspect my grandsons would love it, but probably less useful because of the wheel arrangement. I think I’d classify that as a gardening seat.

My kneeling pad is more like this. Easy to use and store. https://www.duluthtrading.com/duluth...hoCEk0QAvD_BwE I also carry a small folding camp stool for when I need to sit to do something. For tires, either pass through Alligator caps or tpms. I love my Tire Traker system.

I'm getting one of these.

I also use a hunting stool which helps when I come off the driveon beach and need to air up. (in my SUV) but I also carry it in the rv. Folds up so doesn't take up much room.

i have the three legged version for camping which is handy when you are trying to work on something close and need your legs out of the way and folds up quickly and easily into a small package. And it doubles as a grand kid camp chair.

The only way to eliminate getting down/up is to install a TPMS; even then, once every 2-3 years the batteries should be changed.

After weighing I found I was 3-5 lbs low in the back 4.

I have the round mechanics chair that is height adjustable and rolls. I use it to wax the side of the motor home, or do any job that I would have previously gotten on my knees to do, like work in a bay. I use it for everything. I even use it to roll the 9' Xmas tree into the house, so I don't have to carry it. A lot of uses when you have a bad back and knees.

I bought a cheap square Harbor Freight model that I cut up, so it came apart and is easier to store. I keep it in a bay and can use it while camping.
