Pumping up van tyres

[Pedro_The_Swift]

and car tyres:D
I've had the compressor for a while but the whole-
park the car close to the tyre, open bonnet, put stupid alligator clamps on battery, stretch hose and run back to compressor switch when pressure is right
-thing, got a bit tedious. So I extended the lead by 2 metres, put an anderson plug on the end, and Bingo! This can obviously do the car tyres as well.
And i can do it anywhere I like.:cool:

The silver air filters were a last minute addon,, you'll see why when you look at the filters provided:angrylock:

Great minds Pedro - I did this to mine a few weeks ago so I could plug it straight into the vans anderson plug. :D I also made up a short lead with an anderson plug on one end and aligator clips on the other so I can still use it off a battery if needed.

Yep Anderson plugs make life easy.......everything 12v has an Anderson plug fitted

Yep ^^^

I had (still have) same compressor Pedro ... surprised it went 4yrs or so without issue ... but a couple of vouchers in hand saw a cheap ARB job replace it ... the ARB airs up MUCH quicker ... the coily hose ****ed me off no end :(

I have 3 x Andersons at the back of the D2 ... 1x on a dedicated 6B&S from the USI-160 for the kamper to plug into, and 2x on an 8B&S feed from the Aux' battery (which is also fed from the USI) ... lets me pull over, plug the ARB into one of the 2x andresons, without having to unplug the kamper, and the hose reaches from the back of the D2 to F&R both sides, D2 & Kamper ...

Still have a spare anderson to plug in a light or whatever else.

If nowhere else, I'm pretty sure I saw something similar at Pirtek recently - possibly also AutoBarn

Yea, saw the (your) light and bought 2m of blue shop airline.
Much neater and easier.

I just have two of the 6(?)m ARB hoses and the ARB compressor is permanently hard wired under the bonnet... can pump up trailer tyres or whatever.

I have an el-cheap **** compressor in the classic... but seeings as it's now a trailer queen...
