He also had a look but came to the same conclusion.. the air couldn't go in without opening the valve.. Sorry to hear your yellow hose is damaged and needs replacing. You could try binding the hole with several layers of good PVC electrical tape if the pipe is clean and the holes are somewhere away from the connectors on the ends.

Unfortunately, the Screwfix master plug is as stated a 10A rated item, whereas the Ring RAC 900 the OP has is rated at 30 Amps, massively higher. Just came across this entry - been away in van -. I have had 2 compressors in the past and finally they gave up the ghost. I went to Halfords to buy another nbut the assistant told me that although it wouldf take my tyres up to 80psi I would have to deflate them to about 40psi to take the start up pressure off the compressor as there was a risk of burning it out if this wasn't done.Away from a petrol station I still used a foot pump. I once bought a cheap air compressor to inflate tyres but it was too noisy. I felt inhibited from using it at home on the driveway in case I disturbed my neighbours. So I got rid of it. It would be difficult to remove dirt from inside the connectors, so keep dirt out of them. Once inside it may prevent them sealing when coupled. This is one of thearguments againstthis device. Connecting The Air Compressor RAC900 To The Car Battery To Give It Power I've no interest in further cluttering up my garage with the type of compressor you bought, but I do value the versatility of a powerful 12V tyre-pump that takes up little storage space and can travel with me in my motorhome. If people are looking for a pump most suitable for inflating motorhome tyres at any time or place, then I don't think there's anything better on the market than the RAC-900. If they just want a mains-powered pump, then they can do as you did, but they won't be able to travel with it.

I'm looking for a reliable air compressor myself after finding out that the supplied one on our Burstner is next to useless....actually it is useless.

The inflation rate quoted is ‘under four minutes to get a tyre from flat to 35PSI’. By contrast, the Ring RAC900, for instance, takes just one minute and 40 seconds to inflate a tyre to 35PSI. The RAC830 Caravan and Motorhome Rapid Digital Tyre Inflator is ideal for campervans, motorhomes, 4X4s, SUVs, caravans, minibuses and vans. With that I have no trouble in lifting the odd few psi up to 65 that I might encounter when out and about.

This compressor features a pressure preset function and the LCD screen displays four units of pressure readings. Set your pressure and the inflator will stop once it’s complete. Thanks to the memory function, you won’t have to adjust the required pressure for each tyre. The auto stop feature ensures accurate inflation. It is easy to use: set the dial to the pressure you need. Then press start. The inflaton with automatically stop at the prescribed pressure. So what are the plus-points of the Ring RAC700 4×4 Air Compressor? Well, it’s designed for 4×4 car tyres as well as standard tyres.

Just as well, as the instructions are not very clear. Unfortunately, this Ring model no longer comes with a storage case, although it won’t take up much space in your boot. However, you may find it a little tedious folding up the hose and power cables to fit in the small storage cavities. And, doing so may cause unnecessary wear and future malfunction as they do get quite bent. strokes of the best pump could add 12psi, but don't forget that the tyre being inflated during the test was an ordinary car tyre and that only relatively low pressures were involved. It would be completely unrealistic to expect that pump to be capable of inflating one of your motorhome's tyres from 0psi to 69psi with 288 strokes. (Even if it could, that's still a helluva lot of strokes.) This has always been a problem for me, as I cannot find a local garage/supermarket where I can blow up the tyres. I keep the tyres at 67psi, but most garage machines have a top limit lower than this. I have had a Bosch rechargeable gun type compressor, but the battery gave up the ghost and the unit had been discontinued anyway. Then I bought the Ring RAC630 12v compressor as recommended by a survey in one of the Club magazines, but this has failed after only a couple of uses.

Below the compressor is connected to a car tyre: RAC900 Tyre Pump In Action The Inline Tyre Pressure Gauge Surprising the number of times my tyre(s) have needed a top up due to temperature pressure loss, minute leakage, slow puncture evident after a 2,3, or 4,week campup. The nearest forecourt pump may be miles away, and bound to be in the wrong direction and only putting out 2 Bar car pressures, or U/S at times. Hi Colin, can you advise whether the engine should be running when using the Ring 900. I don’t want to end up with a flat battery. It has worked faultlessly many times but they do have limitations, I never run continuously for long periods, which would be needed for inflating a large tyre from near flat. Thanks to its preset pressure function, you can adjust it to your desired levels and the unit will inflate and switch off on completion. It also has a handy memory feature that remembers the last programmed tyre pressure, reducing inflation time and making it faster and easier to get all four tyres up to the correct pressure levels.
