OK, we'll maybe,but don't tell anyone.

Gerald, I have my battery and compressor mounted next to each other, right behind the fridge.

Nice and tidy, and away from heat and dust. No need to have motor running either as the voltage drop is nil right next to the battery.

Hi Brett,

Are you able to supply a photo or two of your installation.

Many thanks

I invented the air off kit which Mitcell Bros sells.
I have used it myself a few times and has been useful.
It works for four tyres from 25 back to 35psi or one tyre from flat.
The OEM compressor has too slow a cycle rate (not enough volume) for much more.
It is good for emergencies or occasional use.
For heavy use; overland or regular off road trips you are better with a decent external compressor with a decent air volume.
