Don’t waste your time trying to use the air here. If you’ve got another option for fuel, take it! I tried to pump my steers up to 110 PSI, and their air system couldn’t even get the job done. I was sitting at 103, and after several attempts — with air still coming out of the hose — my tires actually lost pressure because there was more air in my tires than what their system was putting out.

Eddy was very friendly and allowed us to stay overnight in our RV. Some truck noise but still got a good night's sleep. Store was well stocked, has a Subway and Taco Bell but they were closed by the time we got there.
