If you are planning to go on a long journey in your vehicle, van or RV, then you must be aware of one of the must have car accessories that I have come across in a long time - the 12v air compressor.

Whether you are planning to take the Great Ocean Road, make your way to the Snowy Mountains or cross the Nullabor Plains, it merely requires one flat tyre to end your trip, generally miles far from the nearest town.

While you may have a spare tyre, depending on your age and fitness level, it can be difficult to take out the extra tyre and the jack from the boot, jack the car up correctly, loosen the wheel nuts and change the tyre. It's dirty work at the best of times and can be made much harder trying to do this at night.

Wouldn't it be less difficult to merely re fill the tyre with air and continue your journey? This enables you to be able to take the car to a garage to have the tyre changed by a professional, or at least let you continue your journey instead of waiting until day light to halt and replace it.

There are more ways to re inflate your tyre, such as canned air, but these methods are often not that useful. The most beneficial way out is actually to have an air compressor on board to help you plug it in tyre and simply re inflate it. But where would you plug it in?

There is now a 12v air compressor that is solar powered, ensuring that it is always ready when it's needed. The solar powered 8 in 1 power unit has an integrated air compressor which operates at 260 PSI and has a reading gauge to aid you to see what the air pressure is.

Even better, if for some reason the unit loses charge, the unit also comes with an integrated power inverter. This power inverter will actually connect to your cars cigarette lighter or similar port, and will draw current from your vehicles battery and power the 12v Air Compressor, always guaranteeing that in the case of a flat or leaking tyre, you could be back traveling again quickly and without fuss.
