Viair Portable RV Air Compressor Kit for Class B RVs - 120 psi - 1.47 cfm

Video Transcript for Manufacturer Breakdown of the Viair Automatic RV Portable Air Compressors

Hello, neighbors, it's Brad here with etrailer. And today, we're taking a look at the Viair compressors and I have Ryan from Viair here. And the great part about working at etrailer is we get a lot of vendor-specific training and we wanna share that information with you. It just makes you a little bit more informed when making those choices. So Ryan, today, we have four RV-specific compressors and what are the difference between them and what would make someone choose one over the other Basically, the way that we design them is for the specific application that you're using it for. So something like the 89P that starts with a Class B style motor home.

It's designed to fill those size tires up to that pressure and it'll ensure you're gonna get a long lifespan, which is what we really pride ourselves on as a durable product that's gonna perform for many, many years. Moving up to the 300P-RV, that's gonna do towable trailers like a 5th wheel or a tow behind camper. That provides 150 PSI working pressure. So it'll even handle some of the higher pressure tires that you have in those 5th wheels. Getting up to the 400P-RVS here.

That one does have a built-in pressure switch, so it's a lot easier to use, provides 150 PSI. That one's perfect for Class C motor homes. It also does have a dually attachment. So if you have dually rear tires, it'll help you attach to those. And then getting up to our big guy here, this is our 450P-RVS.

This will essentially work for any size tire, Class A motor home, 130 PSI, big semi-truck tires, still has the dually attachments, so it'll work with those as well. And if I didn't say that already, it's 100% duty cycle. So you can run that thing continuously, doesn't need a rest period. So filling up tires, obviously, really nice to have it onboard. That way, if something happens on the roadside, you can fix it.

You're not stuck waiting for a tow truck. Something along those lines, but what else can these compressors do Yeah, exactly. So we always say, "If you've got a tire plug kit and an air compressor, you're never gonna be stuck on the side of the road." Essentially, these compressors are designed for tire inflation only. They're not gonna be able to do air tools as a standalone. There's no air tank involved in them. But if you did pair them up with an air tank, you could run air tools. So essentially, these will be used for tire inflation. If you wanted to inflate small, like pool toys or inflatable mattresses, things like that, you can use them for that as well. Or balls, footballs, basketballs. So if you're taking your bike along with you on the journey, you can fill up your bike tire, no problem. Yeah, they actually do come with a Presta valve adapter, so you can even use them on the mountain bike tires, the racing tires that use that Presta valve instead of the Schrader. So they'll use them. They can be used on both the Schrader and the Presta valve. And then if someone had maybe not onboard compressor on their airbags, or if they have something like a shocker hitch or suspension that has airbags, these are totally okay to use Yes, yeah, these are perfect for the shocker hitch. A lot of people don't put the two and two together, but obviously, for the shocker hitch, you need air for that. And then they can also be used to adjust your low leveling bags as long as you have a Schrader valve attachment going to the bags where you can actually fill it up. Which definitely saves the trip to go to a gas station or while you're all loaded up trying to get air tires filled, you know, in a small spot. So that's definitely huge. And plus, dealing with these, you know, just throughout my day here, having a bag and everything to keep it all, you can put it in the basement of your RV or wherever and it's ready to go when you need it. Yeah, they all come as a complete kit. So you get the carry bag that everything stores inside of. They come with a coil hose. Some of them even come with double coil hose. That way, you have an extra reach to reach the big 40-foot toy haulers, connect to 12 volt power sourcing ready to go. Brad Now I noticed that the three of them here seems like those have air gauges built in as well. Ryan Yeah, basically, all of them have air gauges built in. On the 89P, it's built into the compressor. On the 300P and up, the gauges are built in where you're at the tire. On the 400P and the 450P specifically, those come with a tire inflation gun, where you can actually control the flow of the air going into the tire by the inflation gun and then the gauges right there for you to read the tire pressure accurately. Very nice. That way, again, going to a gas station, trying to fill your tires, you're not putting quarters in. And a lot of times, they're out of service. So the fact that you have all the tools and really good tools, really just makes it a companion to bring along. Seems like a no-brainer if you have an RV. Exactly, yep. So hopefully, this helps decide which compressor from Viair is gonna be best for your application. A huge thanks to Ryan from Viair for breaking this down for us and giving us some information. Yeah, thank you for having me. Thank you.
