Has anyone mounted a small air compressor under the trialer just to air up tires. I was thinking something like a K&R style. Has anyone done it and will it work? | ||

In the cabinet. vertical. 2 truck air tanks. Plus the compressor tank. I would be more concerned about the underside environment with a K&R unless it it totally sealed. I was going to do the twin tanks underneath and decided inside. ![]() | |||

Great idea! Tanks reasonable? Raceless in California! | |||

Vince, the K&R/AirArmed compressor is a great unit and I have it in both my cars but I don’t believe it would survive the conditions it will see under a trailer. My advice is to buy Rolair’s JC10 and save over $100 compared to the AirArmed compressor. ![]() Besides airing tires, can also use to air up a cylinder to change a broken valve spring too. | |||

Back then i think i paid about 79.00 each. Manufactured by Valvac.. I had another couple on the shelf for stock, just too big.. Bracket kits available also for any tank. | |||

Ed, Are those USA made? Many reviews are saying they are not. Great reviews regardless. Foxtrot Juliet Bravo | |||

There are no 1-2HP compressors made in the US anymore. I bought from Rolair because they are are a family owned company that have been making compressors in the US for over 60 years. | |||

Most Rolair air compressors are assembled in Hustisford, Wisconsin using domestic and "globally sourced components" . Dave F J B | |||

It may not have been on DRR, but I remember seeing a pic from someones trailer that had a small aluminum shelf built, up high on the inside wall of trailer, and had a small compressor mounted there, out of the way. Great idea, IMO. Easy access, for adjustment or replacement. You have to put in the effort, to get anything out of it. | |||

That’s the typical mounting in high end trailers, Goldrush and T&E. | |||
