I have RV 12 and can't figure out how to check the air pressure and add it if needed.
How do you' all do it please?
Do you put plane on a hoist or take off the wheel fairings?
 
You cut a hole in the wheel pant and use an extender tool to take off/replace the cap and fill the tire. There are pics that a search will show for locating the hole and getting the tool. You can fill the hole you cut with a cover plug. Here are some pics. Tony's pic set is a great resource. http://tonytessitore.smugmug.com/RV-12Project/Wheel-Pants-Option/i-JWmvZKW
See page 4 of the wheel pant pics and the tool is from Cleaveland.

Dan, a cheap 3/8" socket driver will get the valve stem cap off and two valve stem extenders, screwed together (from NAPA) will reach the valve stem to add air.

Best,
