Air pressure gauge, handheld

Over the years I have purchased numerous gauges to check tire pressure in both my 5th wheels and Motorhome’s - I can't say that I have found any that I was pleased with. I am sure there are a lot of opinions out there but I am looking for one that is ACCURATE at the higher pressures required in MH tires. I would appreciate hearing any thoughts, recommendations or ideas. Thanks

I have a truckers gauge purchased at NAPA. It has a dual head and works great. Used it on 5er and MH's.

Tire pressure gauge

This is a fundamental problem with all kinds of measurements. About all you can do is compare the reading to other readings from other gauges. Some units do come with an accuracy specification and I purchased a few through Amazon that are quite repetitive. A gauge that is accurate to with 5 lbs should be good enough for common use. Typical range for 22" RV tires found on most gasoline powered RVs is 60-90 lbs, depending upon the load so set the psi to 75 and you should be fine.

JUST DO NOT USE GAS STATION GAUGES BECAUSE THEY ARE TYPICALLY WAY OFF IN ACCURACY.
