If you have an inverter in your coach, one of the easy ways to get lots of air volume at a reasonable price is to buy a smallish nail gun compressor from any big box store, strip off everything but the compressor itself and run it off an inverter. Plumb the compressor into the same place your old one was and run the 120 volts from your inverter through a relay via the same control circuit that was used by your old one. A Senco 1/2 hp compressor is only $100 to $120 and available nearly anywhere. That compressor only draws 400 watts so 30 or so amps DC from your batteries. It will blow up a stock air bag from zero psi to working pressure in less than five minutes - could be up to seven or eight if you have small house batteries. 30 amps DC for five minutes will only draw about 3 amp hours out of your battery bank. If the compressor ever fails a replacement is in the nearest big box store no matter where you are. And, the size of just the compressor is not much larger th
an the big Viairs.
