Mark,

Thanks for the additional details, keep us posted.

At the end of the day you've only gambled $60 bucks!

Subject: Re: [GMCnet] Cheap Air Compressor

If I were to need a continuious duty compressor I would spend the extra
bucks for the Vlair unit. My air system is now pretty tight. On the trip
last weekend 90 miles each way the compressor only come on once for about 30
seconds. Probably due to a consistant cross wind from the south as I was
going east. I run with the system in the auto position to let the leveling
valves do their job. Yes the compressor does get quite warm after about 2
min run time. At the camp site I ran it about 3 min to level the coach but
I opened the door to the cabinet where it is located while doing so. With
the backup to get me home in case of a failure I am sastified with the
system. I looked for a reasonable priced US made compressor but could not
find anything I was willing to pony up for. Most like the Vlair were more
or less continuious duty and I felt were overkill. Of course this one is
only 2 months old so time will tell. I may have to eat my words so to
speak but if I do I will be sure to let everyone know.

Mark
