Going On A Long Road Trip? Make Sure That You Equip Yourself Adequately

If you are about to go on a long road trip in your vehicle, van or RV, then you should read about one of the necessary car accessories which I have come across in a long time - the 12v air compressor.

Whether you are intending to take the Great Ocean Road, trek the Snowy Mountains or cross the Nullabor Plains, it merely requires one flat tyre to end your trip, generally miles far from the nearest city.

While you may have a spare tyre, depending on your age and fitness level, it could be difficult to remove the spare tyre and the jack out of 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 could be made much more difficult trying to do this during the night time.

Wouldn't it be less of a challenge to just 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 have the tyre changed by a mechanic, or at least enable you to continue your trip instead of waiting until day light to make a stop and replace it.

There are other methods to re inflate your tyre, such as canned air, but these techniques are often not that useful. The most beneficial solution 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 that is solar powered, making certain that it is always geared up when it's needed. The solar powered 8 in 1 power unit has an integrated air compressor which works at 260 PSI and has a reading gauge to help you determine what the air pressure is.

Even better, if for whatever reason the machine loses charge, the machine also has a built in power inverter. This power inverter will actually connect to your cars 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 could be back traveling again quickly and without fuss.
