Re: LED comparrison
Apparently the LED industry is not completely standardized, meaning it's new technology and they don't all follow the same rules in manufacturing and advertising. I went to homedepot a few months ago and noticed this "nutrition label" on the back of the led light. Went home to read up on it, it's called "lighting facts". The brand was cree andthey are trying to standarzize the industry to address the specific issue of how many different companies jsut label whatever they want. But i used their lights since it's private labeled by home depot. That being said, I don't know if there's a company that uses cree bulbs for car lights though... And it's pricey...i've never paid $23 for a light bulb before...but it turns on instantly and is supposed to last forever... Crossing my fingers.448Views0likes0CommentsSecuring LED Lights on outside of RV
Hey guys, just wondering if anyone has run into a problem with people stealing exterior lights and how to prevent this from happening. I bought some lights at an off-road show and they were unscrewed/wires cut after owning them for only two months.3.6KViews0likes11CommentsRe: 12 volt compressors
Ditto on VIAIR. Do you research before you spend $$ on a pump. VIAIR compressors are also used to lift and lower vehicles for air suspension systems that require 150 psi and for air horns that need 200psi. Google viair air suspension or viair air horns And they offer a dozen compressors for different tire sizes. small ones that are about $45 for normal cars. $200 compressors for jeep, truck and RV tires. There are faster and bigger compressors than VIAIR but you'll end up spending $300-$400 on a compressor that saves you about 20 seconds to a minute.

The fastest way to air down your tires is with a valve core remover. No other device that you purchase will deflate the tire as quickly. When you get down to around the pressure that you want. Use a good compressor to reinflate your tires. If you have an RV you'll need about 90 to 110 PSI. So i'd recommend getting a VIAIR. But if you have a truck or passenger vehicle that only requires 35 PSI then you can get a smaller compressor like the 88P on Amazon.304Views0likes0CommentsRe: 12v Air compressor question!?

Or you can go with the VIAIR 400P-RV Automatic. This kit comes with a 90 degree screw on chuck and an extended 45 degree push/pull chuck. Here's a link to the websiteand product video. Their website has fill rates too.742Views0likes0Comments
