KeymasterIn this video, I demo my new VIAIR 450P-RV portable 12-volt air compressor. I show you the VIAIR inflating different items including my truck and trailer tires, pin box airbag and bicycle.
Then I detail my likes and dislikes. Overall its a thumbs up from Love Your RV!
See my Part 1 video where I mod a 12 volt port on the side of my fifth wheel – https://youtu.be/sRzhsYT7FJw

ParticipantI’ve had a Viair for about three years, and wouldn’t be without it. Have used it many times, usually for changing tire pressures between hot and cold temperature locations, but have also had a few emergencies. I like the blower attachment, and probably use that as much as the tire pressure pump. Great review, Ray.

ParticipantAgreed. Excellent review Ray! Of all the nuggets you gave about your upcoming reviews, this was the one I was looking forward to the most. Loved the actual applications and timing the different applications.
I’ll be picking one up through your amazon store sometime here in the next week to two.

ParticipantI finally got to try out my compressor today. I’m surprised at how quiet it is.
However, mine didn’t come complete. It’s missing the air fitting and the 90 degree twist on chuck and hose that attaches to the gun. I checked out Viair’s website and it doesn’t appear that I can purchase these parts that are missing. I’d hate to send it back for something so little, but the little 90 degree pi9ece is what I would use 90 percent of the time.
Anyone have any ideas?

There are a few different kits out there. This is the one I got – https://amzn.to/2LKxsrAJuly 8, 2018 at 5:47 pm #52429Donny
ParticipantThat’s the one I bought, I just wish you had the option to purchase the parts individually. I’m missing that little black hose and the three fittings . I looked up some shops around Denver. Maybe I can have one made or something .someone else I know suggested Tractor Supply. Might have to check them out as well :unsure:

Sorry, that sucks that they didn’t send all the accessories. 🙁July 9, 2018 at 10:21 am #52436Donny
ParticipantIt sucks, but it happens. I’m certainly not going to let a $20 part ruin the party. The compressor is great and it really is super quiet.
It can’t be that hard to find an air chuck, hose, and fitting I would imagine.
That’s why I always ask my questions here. Everyone here is a resourceful bunch that usually has an answer for just about everything.

ParticipantDonny did you try to contact Viair maybe they would send you your missing part if you let them know what happened.
