Lew,
I installed the pancake compressor in the generator bay (the first bay on the port side) to keep the steering bay tidy. I prefer a clean steering bay, especially since there’s a sign that says, “Keep this bay clean.” Additionally, I’ve given the steering bay to Jan to store her purchases while we’re traveling.
Notes: I bought it at Sam’s Club. It shuts off at 135 pounds and operates on 120VAC. I’m using a water filter and a 50-foot hose, and I take it out to carry it to the trailer if it needs air or if someone else requires it.
One of the things I appreciate most about it is that after the bus has been sitting for a while, I can simply turn on the compressor. Once the tanks are full, I can turn the key switch one click, and the bus will air up without needing to start the Detroit engine.
