Added Air Compressor
I started with my first RV in 1977 and have had many since.
I have had a few flats in my time too while on the road that required waiting what seemed like forever to get help to fix the problem.
So today I solved most of those problems.
I added a 150 PSI, 120 volts, with a 6 gallon tank in the basement storage area where I have lots of room. I also bought a couple of 12 ton capacity air bottle jacks to use for leveling in my older RV which has no leveling system. They have a lift range of some 10".
I threw in some air tools I had laying around in the garage and a tire repair kit that allows me to replace valves and pulls nails and such from tires and glue the rope material in for repair like the old days.
I tow a small car 4 up on a car hauler so I have many tires involved in my rig and I just did not like being on the road without some air and tools to so some repairs.
I did not buy top of the line stuff but the total costs ran me under $300~much cheaper than just adding leveling jacks alone. Yes I have to handle the jacks but that's still better than playing around with the plastic blocks for leveling to me.
And I can run the compressor from shore power or my genset needless to say.
