Hey Cliff

I'll get in big trouble from the folks who like & use their on-board compressors, but....

1) If you want to top-up your tires prior to leaving in the morning... on my rig ....unless I am prepared to bring in the slides and retract the jacks....as soon as I start the big motor, the "jacks-up" alarm goes nuts!

2) If I wait until morning when I'm ready to leave.... My camping neighbors get to listen & breath the joys of 350hp of belching diesel warm-up, air my suspension, air-up my brakes .... and now I'm ready to air-up six tires on the MH & four tires on the toad.

Hey, I'm pretty quick, but with cold fingers those little valve caps can be a bit of a problem! Not normally a great way to make friends! What the heck we're unlikely to ever see these people again.

I apologize in advance for offending all those who prefer to use their on-board compressor....just do me a favor if you are camped next to me....please ask to borrow my compressor.

Hey, THANK YOU ALL for great informative input.

Marc and Jan:

Thanks for the tip on that "Clip On Chuck" by Slime. Looks like just what I could use. Question: So when "regulated pressure" reaches 115 psi, do ya just hear air stop flowing, or is compressor running until it reaches 115 psi, or do you just read it on the regulated side gauge and thus know you're done????

THANKS AGAIN ALL. I'll eventually get it

Steve

Craftsman 150 psi 6 gallon pancake compressor.

On my older compressor I installed two disconnects. One has a regulator gauge that I can set at lower cut out pressures for things like bike tires or the air nozzle, and the other is unregulated so it reaches 150 psi before the cut out.

Using the unregulated connector I can fairly easily put 115 lbs in my front 22.5" tires.

My on board compressor cuts out at about 115 psi and cannot raise my tire psi above 107 psi even after many refill cycles of the compressor.

Yes, once you clip the tire chuck on you can leave it unattended without worrying. Your tire will not be inflated above the line pressure you set and once tank pressure gets back to the set tank PSI level the compressor shuts off.

I removed the pressure regulator and installed a quarter turn valve. Used a different hose and tire chuck. (Truck type) .

Works great.

Campbell-Hausfeld also makes a clip-on air chuck--picked up one at WalMart for less than $5.
