Indeed. Ours is still hibernating, but the more I read, the more paranoid I get about leaks. I just want Bongo ownership to be a happy experience for us both. Definitely gonna be doing this shortly.

a spin on this tester is to put the gauge in line and use a flat cap to test.
put the gauge on a t piece, then put half the pipe on either side of the t piece, then get a standard cap and remove the seal, this gives easier pressure readings.

when your happy with it you could fit it to the end of the bleed pipe, then put the gauge in the cab, then you have constant pressure monitoring. :wink: :)
