So first big trip out west our 375RES picked up a screw just before we got into Las Vegas and I quickly learned about the importance of a good on-board air solution to maintain trailer and truck tire pressures. I had a small 1 gallon AC based compressor but quickly found out that its not very good with 110 psi trailer tires. So I started researching and have settled on a TV on-board DC system with a 2.5 gallon tank and a 150 psi constant duty compressor. The new system is in transit but I just installed the hose reel in the truck bed area in preparation for the new system. The hose reel was mounted to a large cutting board that is sitting vertical on the truck bed and anchored to a tie-down connector on the side of the truck bed. Additionally, we like to air down the truck tires once we get to a camp location to make the ride less harsh versus the high pressures needed to handle to trailer weight and this will make it much quicker to bring the tires back up to towing levels and I am also looking to swap the hitch for a Reese Goose Ball setup with the airbag and this will also make maintaining that much more convenient.. I hope this post and the future ones on the tank and compressor install helps anyone else that is looking to do something similar.
