Going On A Long Road Trip? Be Sure That You Equip Yourself Adequately
If you are about to go on a long journey in your automobile, van or RV, then you ought to be aware of one of the must have car accessories that I have encountered in a long time - the 12v air compressor.
Whether you are intending to take the Great Ocean Route, trek the Snowy Mountains or cross the Nullabor Plains, it merely requires one flat tyre to end your drive, usually miles away from the nearest city.
While you may have an extra tyre, depending on your age and fitness level, it can be tough to take out the extra tyre and the jack from the boot, jack the car up correctly, open the wheel nuts and change the tyre. It's dirty work at the best of times and can be made much harder trying to do this at night.
Wouldn't it be less of a challenge to merely re fill the tyre with air and continue on your way? This enables you to be able to take the car to a garage to get the tyre changed by a professional, or at least allow you to continue your trip instead of waiting until day light to halt and change it.
There are more techniques to re fill the tyre with air, like canned air, but these methods are mostly not that useful. The best way out is really to have an air compressor on board so that you can plug it in tyre and just re inflate it. But where would you plug it in?
There is now a 12v air compressor which is solar powered, making certain that it is always ready when you need it. The solar powered 8 in 1 power unit has an inbuilt air compressor which works at 260 PSI and has a reading gauge so you can determine what the air pressure is.
Even better, if for whatever reason the unit loses charge, the machine also comes with a built in power inverter. This power inverter will actually connect to your vehicles cigarette lighter or similar port, and will draw current from your vehicles battery and power the 12v Air Compressor, always guaranteeing that in the case of a flat or leaking tyre, you can be back on your way all over again quickly and without fuss.
