    I went for a portable Ark power pack with a 105AH AGM battery in the back. Yeah it takes up room, but it'll make us pack lighter and has larger capacity.

    I got a Redarc isolator installed in the engine bay with wiring to the back. I connect the power pack via an anderson plug. It gives me the option to move the power pack when I need, to run lights or even my portable compressor away from the vehicle.

    Cheers,
    goof

Im looking for the storage bin that fills that space at the moment so if i can get it to fit behind the trim it will hidden. If its too small for a bat the compressor will def be going in there.


    just a different idea to try
    there is space in the quarter behind this bin for your compressor so you should get both in there. Pull the grill off and look.

    A little of topic, but how does having the compressor installed behind trim go with heat etc?

    I know the portable compressors get to hot too touch after a little bit of use.

    if it's been running a while I leave the hose out a while to let the compressor cool down before packing away in the same compartment. haven't had a problem.

    $149 from BCF you can get one a lot cheaper but this has a built in AC battery charger.
