FYI... Found a nice 12vdc air compressor at Costco

It's like this one: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Goodyear-12-Volt-Inflator-i6000/204814139?N=5yc1vZc285

Goodyear i6000C. It's rated 130 psi and 50% duty cycle - 10 min on/10 mins off. It runs slower and pumps way more air than a couple of the other tiny compressors I've had just for emergency tire filling on the road. It's not a Viair but it's the best bang for the buck I've seen. $24! Craig

  • First the disclaimer. Other than as a customer, I have no affiliation with this company.

    We are fulltime, movin' around RV'ers for 13 years. A 12V compressor capable of dealing efficiently with 80lb tires, while not essential, has proven useful on many occasions, more specifically the top-offs engendered by changes in altitude and temperature.

    9 years ago, we purchased a Master Flow unit that served us well for 3 years until I dropped it off the side of our truck and the intake housing cracked in half. I wrote the company asking about a replacement part. (It would have been a 10 minute switch-out..tops) I explained what had happened and in no way suggested that it was anyone's fault save my own. 4 days later a brand new complete compressor was delivered, no questions asked. We're still using it and kept the old one for parts (which we've never had to use).

    THAT, folks, is customer service! I offered to pay for the replacement part. Their response was: "If you have the chance, tell others about us". I have had that opportunity and just now did it again.

    I like the one that came with my Pacbrake setup, always on board 150 psi.
  • I believe that that is the one that I saw and handled the other day. what impressed me was the weight, a lot heavier than some of these small ones which I "assume" meant better construction.
