hey guys so recently my family and I are driving down the highway at 65 miles per
hour pulling a 15,000 pound rig and my TPMS alarm system goes off this isn't
good this means that there's something wrong with one of the tires on my RV
luckily we had our Viair 400P-RV portable air compressor system onboard
with us hey everybody welcome back to VR Odd couple long story short we sold
all of our possessions to full time RV with a toddler and a dog our channel
aims to provide tips tricks and guidance on full time RV living if you haven't

63 feet long bumper front end of the truck to the rear end of the RV itself
so it's not very easy just to pop off the highway and go into a gas station to
get air so you want to carry your air with you so I wanted to adjust my camera
and make this a little bit easier to see while I put this thing together there's
not much to it this engine pretty much comes assembled
everything else is kind of click and slip together the one thing that you do
have to put together is the air filtration system always keep an eye on
this the machine will will run really hot if you don't get a clean filter so
that's it it's just 2 filters one white one on the bottom foam one on the top
throw away all you do is don't use tools just hand tighten this all the way in
and that's it you don't need to go more than hand-tight it's uh it's pretty much
maintenance-free the only thing that you do have to keep an eye on is that air
filtration system make sure that that's clean they do give you let's see two
more sets of filters this hose here is the primary hose you pull it back snap
it on that's it it's it's maintenance-free pretty much it's got a
vibration free stand which is what it sits on if you see me shake it around
which is kind of cool it just means that it's not gonna run down the street when
it starts to run we're gonna test it and make sure stay out of the engine itself
there's your clamps for your battery obviously a black and red negative
positive here's my pressure gauge and this is what the other side of the hose
will plug into right here just snap it on it's ready to go
they give you two hoses one straight 90 looks like about a 15 degree on the end
you just basically take this plug in to the other one and you're set to go
okay pop it off just pull this back and it's
loose extension hose if you need to each hose is 30 feet if you need to add an
extension you take the other hose the male end into the female side there's
your extension it's kind of cool how they coil it so you don't have a mess of
wire I like that feature so 30 feet looks like it condenses down to about Oh
what maybe a foot once you connect your hoses together you can go all the way to
60 feet back from your ties whether it's your truck battery or the batteries that
are on your RV they got this nifty little tool which is kind of getting
around corners again this clicks the same way that the hard one does onto the
end of the unit just quick connectors you just kind of pop them on there
just like that and then they give you two little accessories the accessories
are for blowing stuff up like my daughter's little blow-up pool that I
bring with us wherever we go it's got a pen for basketballs footballs whatever
and those just screw right in the end of this there is no screwing attachment for
the end of the solid one just for the rubber one and that's pretty much it I
mean there's not a lot to this I own all switches right here and that's it we're
gonna go ahead and connect this to the battery and see how it runs
so Rhett I'll go there and you can basically take black and just ground it
on something metal or directly to the battery which is what I'm gonna do
here's your on/off switch
it's shutting off knob so I can leave it plugged in and then put pressure on my
tires but it won't turn on again until that pressure in the system is relieved
probably maybe 15 pounds in it right now
there it is I've got 90 pounds all in all I think this this little unit is
extremely impressive for such a small size that it can go up to 150 pounds and
pressures and pretty pretty impressive so I like my IV my by air and after
using it for a few months I'll do another another review on how it's
working obviously nothing's more important than keeping yourself and your
family safe when you travel having properly inflated fliers is paramount to
staying safe blowouts cause more fatalities within the RV and community
than anything else it's so important to always keep an eye on your tires so
