Portable Air Compressor

[Darl-Wilson]

I bought one of those double tank, 150#, air compressors from Costco and installed it in a right rear bay that has a 110V connection. It is perfect for tires and I use it regularly with my air tools. My 50' flexible hose will reach any wheel or compartment and I don't have to start my engine to get air. This is mostly used while connected to 50 amp but it will work just as well on the road. Just a thought. It works best for me, fits in a small space, and a lot better than the Air-Doubler on my Bro-in-Laws Newell and it's 1/2 the price.

found air outlet, bought hose, bought fittings, hooked it up, guess what? Not enough pressure to fill front tires. Guess I will still have to buy another compressor after all. Dan

Darl can you let me know the model number of you compressor. Thanks, Dan

Dan, I'm at work right now but I'll be going home soon and I'll get the model ##. I looked for one at Costco on-line but they don't have the 150# model. I did see one in the store 2-3 weeks ago and it was still $149. This really is great compressor and a great price. One good thing, you already have the hose!

I'll post that number soon Dan.

Jon,

My air gauge reads 120-125 but without the air doubler it will only inflate a tire up to about 90 psi. The air doubler "doubles" the output to the tire; therefore, allowing you to inflate a tire to 130 psi which is what I run in my front tires. Considering the cost of the air doubler (about $300) it is probably better to buy an air compressor. I looked at my air doubler today and it doesn't have any information that is usuable. I would be glad to order one from Newell if anyone would like to buy one.

Tuga responded awhile back with make and model of the doubler.

Although I think they go online for around $250, I was able to locate one on Ebay for $50.00.

It does make difference. With only 100 pounds of pressure, you can take a tire up to 125# with no problems. It's a small device (about 2x2x5). I hooked mine up as Steve Bennett suggested to me, i.e. it's got quick connects on it, so I can simply put it inline with a regular hose. I keep an extra short hose in the bus, just for that purpose.

Thanks Ray, I searched for that post but couldn't find it.

Note, if you google, leave the N off the back of the model number. There are several variants of this regulator, and the N isn't really important.

Here is the number and the website of Master Power by Cooper Tools As you can see, by going to this site, this unit has the best price. There is an 'Open Box" 521 on Ebay with 23 hrs left. Starting bid is $69.95.

You can find several similar compressors but this is the best buy for a 150# and it has 2 connections and dual gauges. At Costco you essentially have a lifetime warranty.

Good Luck Dan!

That is the exact same unit that I have installed in my coach. It works great and that is a good price.
