If you've seen the thread about my VIAIR 450P-RV blowing fuses you know I'm looking for a replacement. If you have an onboard air system, will you (please) document what you like and don't like about the setup? By "onboard" I mean a permanently-mounted system on your tow vehicle.
If you're using a portable unit (not permanently mounted and other than a VIAIR) I'd be curious to read your experience and satisfaction with the unit, too.
A couple of prerequisites (self-determined) for the unit I'll buy:
1) Must be capable of a 100% duty cycle (or 30 minutes of continuous run-time). Too many of the smaller units are limited to 10 minutes running followed by 20 minutes of rest.
2) If the unit has a pressure switch, it can't be located like it was on the 450! (Even the new 450P-RVS has the pressure switch below the air channel--right where it can accumulate water and 'gunk'.)
3) 12v power with <=40A maximum current (so it will run off of my truck's Upfitter switch).
4) Must be capable of inflating the RV tires to their 80 psi rating in a "reasonable" amount of time.
5) Optional, but would really like the automatic shutoff feature found in some of the smaller units. (Set the PSI desired, turn on the unit and walk away. Nice!)
Right now I'm leaning towards a VIAIR Constant Duty OBA kit. https://www.viaircorp.com/oba/oba-constant
Thanks in advance for your input!
