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


If you are planning to go on a long road trip in your car, van or RV, then you need to find out about one of the necessary car accessories which I have encountered in a long time - the 12v air compressor.

Whether you are planning to take the Great Ocean Route, make your way to the Snowy Mountains or cross the Nullabor Plains, all it takes is one flat tyre to end your drive, normally miles away from the nearest city.

While you may have a spare tyre, depending on your age and fitness level, it can be tough to remove the extra tyre and the jack out of the boot, jack the car up correctly, loosen the wheel nuts and change the tyre. It's dirty work at the best of times and can be made much more difficult trying to do this in the dark.

Wouldn't it be much easier to just re fill the tyre with air and continue on your way? This allows you to be able to take the car to a garage to have the tyre changed by a skilled person, or at least let you continue your journey instead of waiting until day light to halt and replace 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 actually to have an air compressor on board so that you can plug it in tyre and simply re inflate it. But where would you plug it in?

There is now a 12v air compressor which is solar powered, making sure that it is always geared up when you need it. The solar powered 8 in 1 power unit has an integrated air compressor that works at 260 PSI and has a reading gauge to help you see what the air pressure is.

Even better, if for some reason the unit loses charge, the machine also comes with an integrated 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 could be back traveling once again quickly and without fuss.
