I forgot to mention, carrying a few extra fuses is a good idea. This compressor uses a 40 amp inline fuse.........

Erick, Great write up on the ViaAir I have been looking at this ViaAir 400P for sometime for my 2013 truck. I have an ExtremeAire compressor that I installed in 2004 that is been flawless in my 1999 Truck. I went through several smaller (read as broke) units before installing the ExtremeAire. I am wondering if anybody has used one of these ViaAir products over a say 10 year period and how has it held up? The downside of the ExtremeAire is the amount of power it draws and associated $$.

We recently got one of the VIAIR 88P Portable Air Compressors based on recommendations in these forums.  Already, it has proved itself.  On our recent outing my TV developed a leak in the right rear tire (I'm taking it in for...

After experiencing my first tire blow out which caused $4500 in damage to my truck, I was in a fairly emotional state and willing to spend some money. During the process of changing to my under inflated spare, I discovered my current tire inflator was inadequate. I went shopping for a better one and decided on the VIAIR 400P Automatic. Automatic meaning it has a pressure switch and shuts itself off after the air hose is pressurized. The unit comes with a coiled air hose, a nice tire inflator...

Don, good to hear another excellent report on the Viair 88P. It will be my next air compressor, as soon as my Kobalt tire inflator bites the dust. Come to think of it, maybe I won't even wait for that! Bruce

Don I wonder if they will tell you what went wrong. Well I know ours is different, we have an onboard compressor, I like to run it once in awhile to keep the air pressure up and mechanically have things working. I don't know but I like getting all my mechanical...

After our trip to Death Valley I decided it was time to replace my 30 year old compressor. It has served me well when called upon but didn't have the capability to inflate all four truck tires and therein was the problem. When we tow we pump up the tires about 5 lbs over recommended pressure to accommodate the increased load. That works well on the pavement but when we went offroad with an empty truck, it made for a very harsh ride. I really wanted to deflate the tires but was concerned I...

@diamonds , you and other inspired me likewise. Micro Air 364 installed today - just finished. Did the five start procedure on household 110, proved up, then connected to the Ryobi 1800/2300 we have and that proved up as well. I seriously had doubts about the generator. After it held thru the AC startup the digital display showed it running just shy of full tilt, not much room left to take the compressor start. Maybe the converter was grabbing a bit of power, too. Don't know. Altitude here...

The price difference between 2k and 3k inverters, is quite a bit. The price difference between inverters and hybrid, is even more. I haven't had a converter, for last two years and don't foresee a reason to add one. I don't have MW nor do I intend to get one. I seldom use one at home, so see no need camping. I'm considering MS, instead of pure, since AC can run on both. Opinion is split, if mod will hurt AC or not. I currently run compressor freezer or small AC on small mod inverter and...

I guess we have different perspectives on cost. I was thinking in terms relative to the cost of the trailer and to the overall cost of the solar/lithium/inverter package. I just looked at AM Solar and a Magnum 3000 Hybrid was 2239 and a 2000 non Hybrid was 1735, for a 504 difference. I think that difference is larger than it should be as I only paid 1700 for my 3000 Hybrid; but the AM Solar example is likely the worst case. When I bought mine I would only have saved 300.00 going 2000 watt...
