Take All Measures For A Long And Safe Journey
If you are thinking of going on a long journey in your car, van or RV, then you should find out about one of the essential car accessories that 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 just takes one flat tyre to end your trip, normally miles away from the nearest town.
While you might have a spare tyre, depending on your age and fitness level, it could be tough to remove the spare tyre and the jack out of the boot, jack the car up appropriately, undo the wheel nuts and change the tyre. It's dirty work at the best of times and can be made much more challenging trying to accomplish this in the dark.
Wouldn't it be much easier to merely re inflate the tyre and continue your journey? This enables you to be able to take the car to a garage to get the tyre changed by a mechanic, or at least enable you to continue your journey while waiting until day light to halt and change it.
There are other techniques to re inflate your tyre, for example canned air, however these techniques are often not that practical. The most effective solution is actually 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?
Now there is also a 12v air compressor which is solar powered, ensuring that it is always geared up when it's needed. The solar powered 8 in 1 power unit has an inbuilt air compressor which works at 260 PSI and has a reading gauge to aid you to determine what the air pressure is.
Even better, if for whatever reason the machine loses charge, the unit also comes with a built in power inverter. This power inverter will actually connect to your automobiles cigarette lighter or similar port, and will draw current from your vehicles battery and power the 12v Air Compressor, always ensuring that in the case of a flat or leaking tyre, you can be back on the road once again quickly and without fuss.
