12 volt Standby air compressor for air bags
« on: September 25, 2018, 07:07:26 PM »
I have a 2000 Marquis and my 12 volt air compressor for my HWH leveling system is on its last leg.  Has any body replaced it or upgraded it?  If so, which brand and model did you go with

There is a thread on irv2 forum about swapping to the Viair compressor. There are a few good reasons to use it, but the downside was that it is much louder.
The OP said it would wake him at night. He said the Thomas Air compressor (the OEM compressor) is so quiet it is the compressor used in dentist offices.

Mike,     Thats what I have now but it takes forever to get air to the bags if one drops below level while on standby.   I plan on installing a New Viair compressor on the existing plate as shown and just follow the same air hose routing.  I also plan on upgrading the power wire and inline fuse to accommodate a 40 amp fuse
