Onboard Air Compressor

Has anyone added on onboard air compressor to your toy hauler? Is so, where and how did you mount it, what did you go with, and would you do it again? We normally carry a small leaf blower to get rid of the dust, and a small pancake compressor. It would be nice to have a permanently mounted compressor that I can air tires with and stick an air gun on instead of the blower.

Yes, Viair I made the mistake on getting one from Habour Frieght and man what a mistake I only had it for about less than a year and the air blow on me and you can't go back and get just the hose so I will be getting a Viair soon.

I think I’ll give the VIAIR Constant Duty Onboard Air System a shot. Should be compact enough to mount along the frame.

I was in the 4Wheels parts store today and they have the 400 it was about $250.00 or something like that I think that is the way to go.

I ended up going with a 18v rigid compressor with a built in air tank, light, small, portable, and runs off the same batterys as all my power tools.
dewalt and Ryobi make one also and very reasonable in price.

Viair but I would recommend calling them for selecting the correct model. They helped me out tremendously on selecting one for my truck.
