Auxiliary Air Compressor

[Jeff Miller]

A 120v compressor can extend the life of your 12v compressor for the
toilet also ($$$).

The Gast is a nice unit, they are industrial compressors. I'm not
sure that this expensive a unit is necessary, you will be primarily
concerned with noise so that it doesn't shake and rattle the coach,
and the cut-in/cut-out PSI if you want to inflate tires to 115psi or
more. Packaging is also an issue, many folks will separate the
compressor and tanks and install the compressor only.
