Author Topic: Toy hauler air compressor (Read 10242 times)

The norm · « **on:** February 21, 2017, 04:49:08 PM »

I do a lot of sand camping and I have to deflate my truck and toy hauler tires to get out in the sand. I bring an air compressor that does a decent job of filling all my tires. It is a rigid 5 gallon, 4 cfm, 145psi from home depot. I'm worried about it giving up the ghost because of its age and amount of abuse it's handled. I'm looking for a potential replacement. This particular compressor is no longer available. I want an oil lubricated 4+ cfm@90psi 10-20 gallon portable compressor. Obviously the higher the cfm the better. I appreciate your help and ideas. Thanks, Loren

Loren give Portland compressor or C&H a call in town they'll set you up right. Then look at the JJ&A fill manifold for a few ideas.

I'm not really looking for a salesman. I know that I can go down to C&H or any other like store to get their advice. I was asking to get other sand camping enthusiasts thoughts and opinions. Thanks though Jared.

I've thought about doing on board air on mine

Would it be feasable to add an on board compressor to your pickup using an old ac compressor & auxiliary tank?

I would actually prefer onboard air, but I'm not sure what kind of performance I would get out of it

I have no personal experience with it but a guy we used to wheel with had onboard air on his fj40 & it seemed to work pretty good. It didn't fill the tires in seconds or anything like that but he always had air when he needed it. Just did a search & found this: http://www.duramaxdiesels.com/forum/showthread.php?t=20842

Nice thing about this system is the truck don't need to be running like it would with a converted ac compressor.

I looked at this the other day. It's only .97 cfm @90psi. I'm not a scientist so I don't know what cfm is ideal for filling tires quickly. Keep in mind that I have to fill 10 tires lol

This is what I'm using now. It will fill my tires from 15 psi to 75-80 psi @4 minutes per tire. Ten tires takes 40 minutes. If I can't do any better without bringing my 60 gallon Quincy then oh well. Thanks for the input guys
