Take All Measures For A Long And Safe Road Trip
If you are about to go on a long road trip in your vehicle, van or RV, then you ought to find out about one of the essential car accessories that I have come across in a long time - the 12v air compressor.
Whether you are intending to take the Great Ocean Road, travel to the Snowy Mountains or cross the Nullabor Plains, it just takes one flat tyre to end your drive, usually miles away from the nearest city.
While you might have an extra tyre, depending on your age and fitness level, it could be difficult to take out the spare tyre and the jack from the boot, jack the car up correctly, loosen the wheel nuts and replace the tyre. It's dirty work at the best of times and can be made much more difficult trying to do this at night.
Wouldn't it be less of a challenge to just re inflate the tyre and continue on your way? This enables you to be able to take the car to a garage to get the tyre changed by a skilled person, or at least allow you to continue your traveling while waiting until day light to halt and replace it.
There are other ways to re inflate your tyre, such as canned air, but these techniques are mostly not that useful. The most effective solution is actually to have an air compressor on board to help you plug it in tyre and just re inflate it. But where would you plug it in?
There is now a 12v air compressor that is solar powered, ensuring that it is always geared up when you need it. The solar powered 8 in 1 power unit has an integrated air compressor that works at 260 PSI and has a reading gauge so you can see what the air pressure is.
Even better, if for some reason the unit loses charge, the machine also has an integrated power inverter. This power inverter will actually connect to your cars cigarette lighter or similar port, and will draw current from your vehicles battery and power the 12v Air Compressor, always ensuring that in the case of a flat or leaking tyre, you can be back on the road once again quickly and without fuss.
