Re: Class A air compressor?
Beltone Magoo wrote: Go to Sears, Home Depot or Lowes and get a 120v AC pancake compressor that will go to 140-150 psi. If you depend on your engine compressor you will be a long time filling tires, unless you have unlimited patience. I run 120 in the front and 105 in the rear. The engine compressor cuts in at 90 and out at 120. If you are near or below your desired psi you aren't going to get air in the tires or you will have to bleed air to get the engine compressor working to get the pressure up where it will push air into the tires. Cost for the store compressors should be in the $100-$200 range depending on sales. Good luck and safe travels! Exactly I use a Porter Cable 150psi compressor, stored at the back of a storage bay pull out tray. I can run it off the inverter or the generator. Buy a 50 foot Flex Ell hose ( no kinks and takes up little room) and a truck model double headed air chuck ( they slip onto the valve stem and lock onto the threads).401Views0likes0CommentsRe: Supplemental Brake... Necessity or Preference
I think the warning light on the MH dash provides very important information about the status of the toad brakes. But I encountered a fellow who lost his toad to a fire caused by the toad brakes dragging, he didn't notice soon enough that the red light was on. His solution was to install a buzzer. My next project will be to install a buzzer to a relay that will sound if the toad brake are on and the MH brakes are not.318Views0likes0CommentsRe: Choosing Gasoline or Diesel Powered?
I think you mean throttle pedal position sensor and most new gas engines also use them, I have a 2001 car with that set up. The ECU controls the thottle opening (or fuel flow on a diesel), not what the operator selects with the throttle pedal. I like the setup in my car because it seems to be responsive to not only throttle position is but also how fast I move the throttle, and on a 290hp V8 the gradual take up from idle makes it as easy to drive in the snow as a car with a much smaller engine.521Views0likes0Comments
