Tire Inflator

[cajunfla]

What do y'all use for inflating tires when away from home? I'm looking at a Ryobi P731 18v inflator, mostly because I already have 2 batteries and 2 chargers, and I can use it around the house to inflate air mattresses. Yea? Nay?

Viair 88P
Works well

I also use the Viar 89. Even though it would take a long time to inflate a tire that was totally flat, to put in 5 to 25 pounds is acceptable. If you need to do several tires though for say 10 lbs each, then you’ll need to rest the unit every ten minutes (probably one time) or so to let it cool down. It gets very hot. I like it though, and it’s real quiet.

Viar here too, but I have a storage tank under the truck. I do need to rehab it though after 15 years of use, Their customer service is good too.

They have some complete kits like this https://www.viaircorp.com/portables/300p

If your tires are the 16" 110 psi you should get the 150 psi compressor.

Hope this helps

Can't speak to the Ryobi inflator, but here's what some of us have done (if you want to make a project out of this!): https://www.mygrandrv.com/fo...Air-Compressor

NO Projects! hahaha. Getting ready to move, too much to do with the house and packing. Closing on home sale in a few weeks, then purchase sale a few days after that 400 miles away. We'll be full-timers for a week or so. Ocala here we come! We'll be able to park TT next to the house. No more HOA! on just over 1 acre.

I have the Ryobi P731, for the same reasons you stated, I carry a blower, vacuum and driver and have several batteries. I have yet to need it while out camping but I did try it at home to inflate my truck tires to 80psi from 55psi. It took quite a long time but it did it. I think it is sufficient for top offs of a few pounds. I have only had to adjust trailer tire pressures for temperature at home and it did fine. It does work well for things like soccer balls and inflatable beds.

I am sure the other methods described here are superior but for my needs, the Ryobi works fine. If I need a lot of air in a tire, I'm changing it, or finding a tire store. Hope this helps...

I also use the ViAir. I leave it set up on a shelf in my forward compartment, so when I need to adjust the tires due to changing temperatures I just pull out the hose. It handles the 110# trailers quite nicely.

I've had this unit for about 8 or 10 years. I've inflated empty motor home tires, bike tires, etc. I carry it in a hard-sided tool box in the bed of my truck so it is always with me (for just in case stuff.....).

I too have the Viair 400P-RV, and what a great tool.....I bent the supplied, long chuck, to get it to work with DRW on the F350.
