Portable...?

We had a portable compressor long before we had an Airstream...Black & Decker AC powered.
We have a 2000i so we still use it... for the AS 🤗
But then there's always the 12v Hadley in the Burb for the Grover Toot'r. 🤪

I have the Viair 450 permanently mounted under the truck with a 2.5 gallon tank. The switch and gauge are under the dash and the air intake is inside the cab behind the back seat, the air chuck is mounted just behind the passenger running board. With this and my mini floor jack and impact I have changed a tire in about 15 min without breaking a sweat, and most of that was getting the spare cranked down.

Does everyone need this? No but I am a big truck/tool/gadget kind of guy and I love it. Viair makes quality smaller setups for those interested in tire maintenance only.

Q Industries MV50 SuperFlow Hi-Volume Air Compressor

I posted back in 2010 the above compressor ($60 at the time) and it is still going strong 9 years latter. I did have to better insulate the power wires coming out of the unit, but other than that no problem.

It's currently selling on Amazon for $74 with a 4 star review (608 reviews). I did read a few of the reviews at the top that are less favorable but mine is good....

These guys also make a very high quality piece of kit that works well in high heat areas. Austrailian made, for the Outback.
