"Bushranger" Max Air 3 best value for money.

I had Bushranger before I went ARB on board.

Neil,

What about one of these from Tradetools, number of branches in Brisbane. Fairly serious specs.......

This probably isn't the right thing to do....but I currently have an ARB compressor for sale:

http://www.gumtree.com.au/m-my-ads.html

There is nothing wrong with it....I'm just fitting a larger one with an 18 litre tank to my new Chev beast. This ARB unit came already installed in the Chev and looks to have done very little work.

It has the complete wiring harness in case you want to build it in to your vehicle.

I have a Bushranger Black Max and it works a treat. However, the standard hose that comes with it is on 2.5 metres long and means it won't reach camper trailer wheels while hooked up. I have just paid for an 7.5 metre extension and this fixes the problem. $29.

I Just replaced my onboard Boss air compressor/tank with a portable air compressor. After reading many reviews I bought the "Thumper" from Tigerz11, it seemed to me to be the best value for mony.
