RIP Viair

[ARD]

I'd try replacing the fuse or asking VIAIR before calling time of death on it. And hook it up to chassis batteries as a test.

Hooked it up to car battery - dead. Will try again on chassis battery later before I trash it, but I'm pretty sure it's a goner.

Dead is dead kid, doesn’t matter which battery you hook it up to assuming the fuse is good. I know you had an air system added to your coach, but for just 2-3lbs in a tire now and then I love this little unit. Only puts in about 1lb/min but for small amounts it’s so easy and convenient:

Combined with this little blower for use around the campsite, and I’m a happy camper.

Give me your corpses, I bet a quarter it's not dead.

I emailed [email protected] and they said:

You can try to jump start the compressor by bypassing the on/off switch.

Remove the back plastic rear cover and there are 2 wires, red & black.

Apply direct power from the battery to see if it’ll jump start the compressor.

If it does then you just need a replacement on/off switch.

$350 air compressor, I'll fix it and sell it back to you for $330.

Bought a set of these, and absolutely love them. No more leaky connections, and can reach nearly anywhere needed to get to the valve stems. Added to a digital gauge and I'm good to go.

Don’t give in @ARD. He’s still digging the hole looking for it.

So I thought I would circle back now that I've used the doubler. I combined it with the following Astro Pneumatic Digital Tire Inflator and a 50' Craftsman Air Hose. I've never put air in my tires this fast, not ever. I am elated. The only downside I can see is that the coach has to be running. Otherwise, this is an awesome set up!

FYI: The tire gauge is about $20 cheaper at Amazon than buying at Spartan.

did you send the dead viar to @Neal yet?

 

[J&JD]

I am elated.

Airing up the tires……doesn’t take much to elate you Miss @ARD .

Take your victories where you can. Hopefully Miss ARD will be as elated after her visit to the mother ship in March.

I was going to ask also....lol

Santa came up empty. All I wanted was a VIAIR for Christmas.

@ARD will be performing battery and solar installs at the upcoming RVF rally. Her booth is right next to the Proteng booth.

Wha's a RVF Rally?

@ARD I saw this January update on the Red Diamond air doubler. Now that you have had it over a year, what are your thoughts now? I have been using my Spartan chasis factory air chuck up by the generator to maintain my tire pressures, but am curious if it is worth the $ to upgrade or not.

Best,
