When we walked back the split rim was sticking out the middle of her radiator, one very lucky lady!.
I thought you were going to tell the one about the driver trying to get the hub cap off and the little old lady asked if he wanted a screw driver, he replied, thanks lady but it will have to wait until I've changed this tyre :lol:

30 lb of pressure is not a lot. Will he be putting another 60lb or so in tomorrow

Poor George was tuckered out after 30 psi with the bicycle pump from Dotties pushy, but after a good sleep he can have another crack at it :lol: Then again, maybe it's like oil in british bikes, if you don't put any in it won't leak out ;)

Managed to get the pressure up to 60psi but the getting to the valve it is a real marathon (as you boys would know) even with an extension!! Called in to the Billabong Roadhouse to use their air but wait, their power is out for 30 mins or so, What do you do while waiting? you have a cup of tea of course :D Anyway on checking the pressure what we put in this morning it has held ok. Bugger the bike pump whare is good ol Chuck when you really need him?? Never seen so many caravans in one day, there have been literally hundreds of them van to van on the road :D

"tanks" here Doy,
If the pressure is holding at 60 psi it may be that the extension thing is leaking.
I have had this problem with the backyard Inveco.
I strongly suggest that you remove the extension and give that a try and also get a tyre-dog [type] monitor system from ebay to give you advanced warning without having to physical check every tyre, which is a big pain with the dual wheels setup.

And people wonder WHY we hate caravan jails.. This is a $35 a night drive through site , it is uneven and you are also locked in at 6.30pm. As you can see we are so close to the van next door their windows would stop us opening the door, can't even open the bus bins to get power cord out then there is the tree on the other side . I am not happy at all. Bloody disgusting to say the least. I tell you I am going to be using anything and everything that is electrical. Plus we are down the back with the feral permanents with all their crap stuff scattered everywhere. Is it that time of the year for me?? NO it is this rip off thing they call a caravan park. Now where is my drink? Had to come here (The cheapest and available) as Beaurepairs could not fit us in till 2 pm tomorrow. Plus the stupid woman on the dash took us past the tyre place into the small main street with even small roundabouts :roll: Going to have the wheels rotated as well tomorrow. Caravan Parks = PIGS ANUS :roll:

Should see where we are at the moment. Large ensuite site all to ourselves........ might be squishy if we had any neighbours, but they have vans literally scattered all around the park and plenty of space for everyone. Definitely not the busiest park in Roma, the other one is totally jam packed and really there is no reason why this one is only half full!
