on board air pressure booster

[kenrobertson]

I may have missed this on an earlier thread somewhere, so at the risk of being redundant.......customers are showing up with this air pressure booster. It's small, affordable, fast, and it works. Check it out at www.dickmantires.com

Yep...thats what I meant

Is this what I might want? My bus "Aux" system goes to #120 with the engine or even with the 12vdc aux pump, but does not seem to have the CFM to do much (probably due to tank size in Drive lower compartment). I am considering just buying a small 120v ac that will go to 120+ that will deliver more CFM and have the added versatility of being AC and not having to do the tires with the engine running. What say thee?

I like it because I can grab it and go with it in the toad. The only thing that I have found is that you will want it running when you start to pump up your coach tires. Let it treat the tire like it is part of the resevoir system. Other wise, you will need to monkey with the shut-off switch which then limits the versatility of carrying this compressor.

Also. since I am going to carry it, I am considering plumbing it in to the aux air system on quick connects so I can eliminate use of the aquairium pump that is curently installed.

rahangman - I'm not selling these........just sharing info, but our customers are very happy with them. Probably an option worth looking into.

Just to be a smart ass here these devices have been called "doublers". I believe Tuga's Newell came from the factory with one.

I propose we set up a demo with one. Since it will double the pressure in the bus system it appears to be a good way to air up tires for example. However, it doubles the pressure, but halves the volume so I think we need to set up a timed event in OKC to determine if it does actually fill a tire needing air any faster.

When we are done with that we can use it to see if we can explode airbags.

I'm in that class...

I will bring the air bags!

I bought one of the Porter Cable compressors that goes to 150 psi a couple years ago, and it works great. Keep it in my tool bay. I bought it off eBay for $125.

I opted to install one in the steer bay of the bus.

I'm real happy with the way it worked out..
