Onboard air

Added an onboard air set up. A generator and a 110 compressor would work also but we don’t travel with a generator as we always camp with hookups. So this was the more cost effective route for me. About $250 all in. Installed a viair 450H compressor and 50’ of line. 100% duty cycle. I can use this to air up the air bags on the truck as well as the truck or camper tires. Not to mention bikes or anything else requiring air. The need for me arose when I got a nail in a trailer tire and had no way to get to an air source. Was getting dark. Not familiar with the area. Tried a few gas stations. At he first one the air station was broken. Second attempt I couldn’t get close enough with the trailer. The one I found that I could get to would only air up to about 50 psi. Trailer runs at 80 psi. So after wasting about 2 hrs and plugging the tire I found a big rig tow truck that had air on board to air up the tire for me. Well now I’m self sufficient. Click image for larger version
