New OnBoard Compressed Air Setup (VIAIR Constant Duty ADA System)

[Cahriad]

What I'd like to figure out is a way to have a retractable hose mounted under the bumper of the truck or maybe even on the tongue of the RV?. Not sure if that's even feasible but it's the last nuisance in my setup ("1st world problem", for sure).

I am playing around with the Viair coiled air line and some 4" PVC fence post. Not exactly retractable but this is where I am heading. Sort of like my sewer hose holders. They work better and the hose feeds better if the post is vertical.

A retractable air hose to go with the VIAIR compressor would be a good idea. I gave up on fighting with the coiled hose and went to a 1/4" polyurethane "roofer's" hose. It is very easy to hand coil or uncoil and lays out straight when in use. But . . . an internet search finds this type of hose on a small rewind . . . I will have to investigate this further !

I found that retractable reel also. The only issue is, it has a max capacity of around 6' of hose as it is designed to hang over a work bench with an air tool attached.

Yoda -- this (hopefully) clears up the earlier misinformation shared in your thread (which I'll find and post a link to this post).

Due to the failure of the original VIAIR pump (documented here: https://gdrvowners.com/forum/operati...owing-30a-fuse ) the OEM Airlift compressor was installed requiring a wiring change from what is shown in post 3 of this thread.

Below is the current setup as documented in the Comprehensive wiring thread here: https://gdrvowners.com/forum/operati...lts-f-350-mods

The significant change is Upfitter 1 now powers the Airlift compressor as well as the manifold. The VIAIR pump in the diagram below is the new one as documented in this thread. It is a completely separate unit and is not utilized for the airbag system.
