On board air

If you own a recreational vehicle or do a great deal of off-roading, one of the most valuable tools to have is an on board air system. RV enthusiasts and off-roaders have come to appreciate the importance of having an on board air system equipped with their vehicles and the sheer versatility that these systems offer. Having one of these systems on hand can mean the difference between being stranded in the middle of nowhere and being on your way somewhere.

On board air systems have a number of uses in recreational vehicles, from controlling level load air suspension systems to reinflating and reseating tires. A good on board air system can also be useful in powering air tools such as impact wrenches. Off-roaders use on board air to control axle air lockers, operate air jacks and perform other small tasks that may require compressed air.

CO2 air tanks offer a quick, compact and simple solution for on board air, and a number of vendors offer on board air systems for an inexpensive price. Unlike air compressors, CO2 air tanks are more compact and portable, meaning they can be used in a greater number of places as well as be mounted in more locations within a vehicle. One of the most well known vendors is Power Tank, a standard setter among providers of air tank systems. Available in capacities up to 20 lbs, a Power Tank can refill a 35” tire to 30 psi in just seconds and is also capable of refilling a large RV tire to 135 psi in a matter of minutes.

If you use your on board air tank on a regular basis, then it will have to be refilled at some point. CO2 air tanks can either be exchanged or refilled at your local gas company or any location that is capable of refilling these tanks. While tanks can be exchanged right away, if you request to have your existing tank refilled, it may be a day or so before it can be returned to you. The same fittings that are used on air compressors can also be used on these CO2 on board air systems and most of these can be found in hardware and home improvement stores.
