It will pump up to 150psi and connects directly to either your chasis or house batteries with an 8' cord which means I can use it wherever we may be located....even road side. With the extension hose included I can check/fill all my tires...even when we have the toad attached without any hassle. It stores conveniently under the couch in our Four Winds 31W but should be able to fit in your garage depending on compartment size. After trying two other units with pressure and extension issues this unit has solved my frustrations. Good luck with your search.

P.S. I did purchase a commercial chuck with attached pressure stem and find it to be more accurate than the pressure gauge that came with the kit. Not a biggie but thought you should know.


I carry the Viair as well. It is costly but it’ll surely do the job for years to come. Doesn’t even labor with my 100 psi tire needs and everything stores nicely in its bag. I put a tire plug kit in as well. Plugging won’t work for all flats and it’s supposed to be only a temporary repair but it’ll get you going again for a common tread puncture. I always wondered how hard it is to puncture a tire and how hard it would be to use a plugger so I practiced on a tire that was on the way to be replaced. Turned out both he puncture and the repair were easy. Who knew? It was a motorcycle tire so perhaps a heavy duty RV tire would be ore difficult but at least I’m going to have a go at it if he need ever arises.
