Back to the Viair - their model 400PA
This is probably the unit I'm going to order (from Amazon). It's a solid performer with good specs and it also has one thing that their less expensive versions of this pump don't have - an automatic shutoff. This means you can use this pump with a holding tank (which can be purchased and added later on). The holding tank can be mounted in your vehicle (typically underneath) and it can also support a portable holding tank. This will ensure you almost always have air.
This is their Model 400PA-RV (I'll probably go ahead and get the -RV kit since it's only $30 more). I definitely want the automatic shut-off function. (The 400PA and the 400PA-RV are the same compressors with different accessories).
400PA-RV is the third in a series of VIAIR portable compressors with automatic shut-off function. This 33% duty cycle unit is capable of working pressures up to 150 PSI and can be operated for up to 40 minutes at a time before needing to be rested. The 400P-Automatic comes with a close-ended gas station-style air gun with onboard air pressure gauge for added convenience. While the unit was designed specifically for RV tires, it can be used for almost any tire-filling situation due to its included extension hoses, and tire chucks. Semi-truck operators will find the convenience of the 45-degree extended reach chuck perfect for big rig applications.
