Love mine. They air my rig up to 125psi with no issue (even when I found one at 80psi last week).

I got the 450 RV model from Santa last year. Thought it was a little expensive for what it is. Then I tried it out on my G rated tires that need 110PSI. Outstanding! I'll never have to buy another unlike those cheap plastic ones that burn up when you need them.

Can you use the Viair to winterize (blowout) the waterlines? I think I saw a post that someone does, but not sure.
TIA

I have the Viair 400P model. The single coiled air hose isn't long enough so I picked up a good quality 50' long hybrid air hose. I like the hybrid hose a lot better than the coil hose that comes with the Viair.
The compressor is great. Automatic and quiet.

I bought one from harbor freight that goes up to 150psi. Looks like from the pics that it was made on the same assembly line in china (and probably was). It was in the $60 range. 12Volt 150 PSI Compact Air Compressor

How do you like it Jeff? I thought about picking one of those up in the past too.

Have only used it 2x so no real feel for it other than it worked and doesnt take up a lot of room. 12 v cord with clips and hoses long enough to reach from battery to tandem axles. There is a YouTube video on this which would be of great interest to you, and which influenced my decision to buy since there is "long green" difference on something that may get occasional use. I have garage compressor at home. Like I said when you look closely at the pics for each of these, there's a lot of same going on from what you see.

Might look the same as most copies do but it isn't made with same tolerances. I had one and it lasted about 5 minutes. Don't need something breaking down while I'm on the road..
