On Board Air

[Matt]

Yeah i've been finding it for $200-$250 which is basically the same price as the VIAIR kits i was looking at. Although the Puma looks like it'll fill the tires a bit faster based on specs, I like the compactness of the VIAIR kits... and that'll still fill up the XK tires in less than 2 minutes. Throw a good tire plug kit in that bag and leave it in the vehicle and you're good to go if you get a flat or something as well.

Awesome. Let us know how it works. Maybe do an air down test and time how long it takes to go from 15 to 35 psi for us.

I just discovered what might be the ultimate "On board Air" package and I did not even know that I had it. I just watched the DVD that came with my Country Coach Motorhome and it showed me three air line hookups under the front bumper on the driver's side. These three connections each have shut offs and are all the standard 3/8 inch threaded female ports. I put quick disconnects on them for three air lines. I got a 50 foot Goodyear airline and I already had a couple of less expensive airlines for my portable compressor. The compressor on the coach is very powerful. It fills both the primary and backup air tanks in about 15 secconds after starting the diesel engine. It will also lift about 25 tons or 50,000 pounds several inches up within 30 seconds of starting. I do not know the constant flow rate but I do know that both air pressure guages stay at about 80 psi all the time. I think that this will come in very handy as a base camp air supply with three hoses. It should also provide plenty of air for air tools.

Here is a picture of the coach. I will take pictures of the air connections tomorrow in the daylight.



I guess I might have to put a coin operated timer on it...... Thats my story and I am sticking to it.

I recieved my portable air compressor a few days ago. Q Industries MV50 SuperFlow Hi-Volume Air Compressor. I took my tire down to 20 psi and it took 2 min and 15 sec to pump it to 36 psi. So far I think it works great!! It was $65. Its small and easy to store in the XK.

Here is a couple of pictures of the air connections under the front left of my Motor Home. I put quick disconnects in the three air ports so that I did not have to screw in the male end of the air line every time I wanted to use it. By the way, I thought the two air tanks normally were regulated to hold 80 psi, actually they each hold 120 psi all the time. I aired up a flat tire in about 30 seconds using the hose today.



with one air hose connected

That can come in real handy at Camp Commander.

I have had my Viair Heavy Duty #10005 for a little over 2 years now with no problems, and I do have it mounted up side down.
I placed it in the spare tire location with the tank being protected by the rear 4x skid.

I would like to see that mod!
