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.

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

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,

Hi Mark!

I really do like it. It is so much faster than the Viair. Unfortunately I am unable to answer your question as I never used the coach compressor prior to having the doubler installed. Sorry, I am not much help in that regard.

Lately I have been using my Milwaukee M18 Tire Inflator to top off my tires. It is one of my best purchases. love this thing.

Just checked into the M18 Tire Inflator and Home Depot has a killer deal going on now. The Tire Inflator, two 5ah batteries and a charger for $199. Don't really need the batteries, but at that price I couldn't say no. I'll bump my 2ah batteries down the pecking order.

Thanks for the tip ARD.

I use my coach compressor with the doubler every time I add air. It works great. I run 120 on my front and it has no problem airing it up. I don’t feel the need to carry a spare compressor.

 

[ARD]

Thanks for the tip ARD.

You’re welcome! You got a great deal. I bought the tire inflator for my toad, but I love that I can use it to top off the coach tires.

That M18 looks pretty nice. I've got a 2.5 gallon Dewalt, which can stand upright and takes up a lot less room in my bay than my pancake compressor did, and does 3 SCFM at 90 PSI, so airs tires up pretty quick.

That said, I might consider the M18 for my cars/toads, rather than using my pancake (retired from RV) that I keep in the home garage.

I kind of like the fact it will air up to a preset, rather than sitting there waiting, even though both of my compressors air things up pretty quick.

This is what I use and it works well. Replaced hose with quality one. It's small too and fits in a plastic milk crate.
