I’m thinking of intentionally using a sogen to test it and see how much I run down the sogen for just how much topping off I get.

For those who want to know, this is what I finally went with... https://www.amazon.com/VIAIR-85P-Portable-Air-Compressor/dp/B0036E9VB6? I debated getting this one with the cigarette plug or the one with the battery connectors. The other one had longer cables which I really preferred, but would...

You’re welcome! :)

I see you found your way over Derek. Welcome..from Ralph. ;)

I've seen the package deals and may consider something like that. I don't have a battery tool system and that's what makes me wonder if I should go down that road. But they do look like a good system. No need for a mattress one, just auto. I'll look into the lower versions of the Viair...

I noticed the battery operated ones do seem to have their own ecosystem. Not sure I'd add much to it but they do seem very convenient which is something I value more the older I get. ;-)

Well, I'm at the age where I'll gladly pay more to avoid any manual pumps. I barely tolerate them on bicycles and ride with CO2 cartridges to fix flats. Not to mention I can't even see/read a gauge located near the ground. LoL!

I think your usage it close to what I have in mind. Now and then it's good to check your car pressures, especially before a trip. Same with the 560. Gas stations are getting more unreliable for having available air and it just seems like it would be easier to just have something in the garage...

I definitely have experience with bike pumps over the years, but only on bikes. Way too much work to hand pump car tires, not to mention getting accurate enough readings without constantly stopping to put a real gauge on the tire.

Well, based on my experiences with air mattresses, I was thinking it would be easier and more convenient than always needing to reach the 12v plug in the car/trailer. :D But you make a good point, it doesn't have to be. Guess I'll add that to the list of options. Thanks Seth!

Looking for advice on what to buy. I want something I can use at home (or maybe even on the road) that will allow me to top off the air in my car tires as well as the 560. There seem to be multiple types on the market and I'm wondering what others use or recommend or recommend to avoid. My...

Yes, I was in Grand Teton (GTNP) for a week last fall. I'm already booked for 2 weeks this spring and plan to return for 2 weeks in the fall again as well. But my intention is to spend the majority of that time in GTNP and not Yellowstone. Yellowstone is a huge park. It takes a lot of driving...

Cary, any idea what that one weighs? Or maybe just how much added weight due to the stainless body?

That looks like a really sweet setup Randy. Was there a reason you couldn’t just use the charger you already had? The Victron is still an AGM, isn’t it?

I have no interest in heating a tent. I'd just like to fire something up during and after dinner just outside the CI, to sit around. I'd prefer something simple and easy to carry/store/use. In the morning I'm up, dressed, and out and about. It's when the sun starts going down in the shoulder...

I’m quite ignorant when it comes to knowing anything about portable gas heaters. Are these types of gas fires efficient if you want to use them to provide heat? I’d like to find something that can be used to keep somewhat warm while sitting outside in colder temps. But obviously would prefer not...

Work? What's that?

A $1,000 camping toilet?????? :rolleyes:
