I'd like a 120v version.....I think. I've got a Dewalt version right now but it's toobig and heavy for the motorhome storage bay and it's got a ring problem right now that I need to replace.Take care, Greg Quote Selected

Re: Air for tires....again Reply #13 – December 08, 2010, 03:32:38 pm Yahoo Message Number: 5982I have a Husky also in the forward basement compartment that I have found to be a very handy tool. Besides topping off tires it is great for cleaning out dusty storage and engine compartments, etc. I also added a Reelcraft 50' hose reel that stows and extends the air hose easily, and the compressor is powered by the Xantrex Inverter when Shore Power is unavailable.Here's a picture link:http://public.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pXmhLRxjW68uYZORSBnRv2ij58QzLOAXjyF-up4Zl1W_RW45mVFKuYRi2a37KCg69b8cWWq6kYRk9Nu-q2TQeGw/Compressor%201.jpg?psid=1Craig Quote Selected

I think your storage bays are a bit higher than the ones on the gasser 32SS, but I've got one I think it would fit in. I may have to reinforce the bottom of the plastic compartment. A couple of them sag pretty good :-(Quotewe have a 25' reel. i like the sears model opposed to others because of the 3 gal tank and the fact (call me old fashioned) you actuall add oil to this one. Having just rebuilt my oiless Dewalt compressor, I would agree. I don't want another oiless version if I can find a small one that will keep up with the tire filling.Which model Sears compressor is that?Take care, Greg Quote Selected
Re: Air for tires....again Reply #16 – December 08, 2010, 06:24:38 pm Yahoo Message Number: 5988i did cover the bottom of the compartment with a piece of osb and installed some blocks of wood to keep the compressor in it's place.Sears Item# 00915310000 | Model# 15310http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00915310000P?sid=IDx20070921x00003a&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=00915310000Pdon Quote Selected

It's a good looking littlemachine and actually puts out more cfm at 90psi than my Dewalt did inspite of the Dewalt being a 150 psi compressor.I rebuilt the Dewalt and it seems to be working fine, but I like theidea of the oiled unit and it will fit in one of my compartments wherethe dewalt wouldn't. Actually it would fit in one of them, but not whereI wanted to carry it.My old oil reservoir compressor ran for years and worked well when Isold it so maybe I won't have to rebuild this one in a year.Thanks to all for the suggestions.Take care, Greg Quote Selected
Re: Air for tires....again Reply #19 – December 13, 2010, 08:28:57 am Yahoo Message Number: 6012After reviewing the Viaircorp.com web site that Ron suggested, I sprange for the 400P-RV automatic portable compressor. It's everything I had hoped it would be; small and powerful. A little spendy but appears to be well worth it.Tks again for the info.Dave Quote Selected
