Inflating Tires and Winterizing with an AstroAl Offroad Air Compressor
Dave SolbergMost prepared RVers know to bring a portable air compressor on their vehicle to keep tires pumped to the correct PSI when they're out on the road. But how do you decide on a good, reliable model when there are hundreds of options on the market and many of them are too cheap, too bulky, or too weak? RV maintenance and repair expert Dave Solberg recently picked up an AstroAI T6 Offroad 12 Volt Air Compressor to give it a proper test and see if the inflator has enough oomph to earn a spot on Dave's rig.
Weighing just 22.5 pounds and operating at a modest 70 dB, this option from AstroAI is a relatively lightweight and quiet choice for anyone seeking a dependable compressor that won't take up too much of your RV's storage space. It also has a great hose that won't break or go brittle in the cold, as opposed to a lot of other models' hoses.
The T6 runs on 12V, so all you have to do is hook it up to your house battery and start inflating. Dave does a quick demonstration to show how quickly the T6 can fill up a rig's tires. Just a few minutes for a 30-PSI tire to go from flat to fully inflated!
As an added bonus, Dave teaches you how to utilize the AstroAI T6 Offroad Compressor to winterize your vehicle by using compressed air to blow out the tanks and water lines. He's a big fan of this model, so go ahead and check it out for yourself!
