Anyone runing a compresor n air tank on their trailer?

Since most cars dont have much room under em for an air tank etc, and trailers do.... just a thought.

I have come into ownership of 2x Bi g Red Compressors... tryin to think what to do with the second one.

Big red compressor + genuine kerbside collection 9kg air tank OR even multiple air tanks + beer/spirit of choice + time = quick fun with compressed air.

Here you go, compressor and air tank and all on a trailer. You might have to scale it down a bit... about orange sized would work.

Just providing ideas >:D.

What is a euro truck air tank? Is it those thin torpedo shaped airbrake tanks?

yea, they usually appear less round. might be easier to fit up.

You used to be able to pick them up for just abou free until all the mini utes got into it :(

hey mate i would mount the compressor on the camper for sure make it faster to inflate tires after a beach run or something. means you could basicly pump up 3 tires from your car comp and 3 from camper. i personally wouldnt bother with an air tank simply for the reason that you would need a bloody big tank to be of any use, the first tire might be quicker but once the compressor has to cut back in your trying to pump up the tire and the tank to your desired PSI.

just my 2 cents
