Use one of these:

Very solid, easy to use, and accurate (compared readings to two other gauges)

I bought a good one onlineI think fleebay it's a draper with a gauge that has a tube with the valve connector and also has a button to release pressure if needed,it also saves the reading until you press the button quite useful Iwill try and find the link

If you want something that's accurate you will have to pay a lot for it, we have an Intercomp £75.00 but it reads 0.3 psi low. Best to try one back to back with a known accurate gauge & make a note of discrepancy.

That's my point don't spend to much just check it against a know gauge (we need it extremely accurate) but its not necessary for a motorhome.(y)

Another one for Draper (Amazon ) tested it for accuracy with calibrated gauge ok.

I bought one of these three years ago. It is referred to as a service gauge and is calibrated. Simple and robust. It is quite large (definitely not pocket-sized) and can be used to measure anything from car to large lorry tyres.

Under law all tyre pressure gauges have to be officially pressure tested by an independent test company that is registered with the government ...can't remember how often this is required but, of course these devices are quite often abused by the general public so you might have a problem when its your turn to use one:D

Just went to look at the Michellin 12279 digital, available ebay £19.99 inc postage, checked out B and Q, coming up at £18.37. I'm thinking great, get my 10% discount next Wed as well. Unfortunately not, none of my local 6 stores stock the product, inc two super stores. So quick note of to B and Q, asking for an answer. Guess by the time I get the reply, I will have gone to ebay anyway. Never a dull moment.

The "draper" style one seems to be pretty accurate and I have found it to be reliable.
I fitted new tyres last year and one tyre took two re_fittings before the pressures settled to a steady reading
The Galp filling stations seem to be pretty consistent for good air pressure equipment.the draper type guage keeps the paranoia about tyre pressures in check.
