Take All Measures For A Long And Safe Road Trip
If you are about to go on a long journey in your automobile, van or RV, then you should be aware of one of the must have car accessories that I have come across in a long time - the 12v air compressor.
Whether you are planning to take the Great Ocean Route, 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 an extra tyre, depending on your age and fitness level, it could be tough to take out the spare tyre and the jack from the boot, jack the car up properly, loosen the wheel nuts and change the tyre. It's dirty work at the best of times and could be made much more challenging trying to accomplish this in the dark.
Wouldn't it be less of a challenge to merely re fill the tyre with air and continue your journey? This allows you to be able to take the car to a garage to have the tyre changed by a professional, or at least allow you to continue your traveling instead of waiting until day light to make a stop and change it.
There are other techniques to re inflate your tyre, for example canned air, however these techniques are often not that simple. The most effective 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?
Now there is also 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 integrated air compressor that operates at 260 PSI and has a reading gauge so you can see what the air pressure is.
Even better, if for some reason the machine loses charge, the unit also has 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 can be back on the road all over again quickly and without fuss.
