Robbo Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Yes, Ring RAC900. Coiled airline reaches all 4 tyres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Uzzell Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 This earlier thread may be worth reading http://forums.outandaboutlive.co.uk/forums/Motorhomes/Motorhome-Matters/Tyre-pumps/42968/ The T-Max BA2641 pump is available on-line for around £62 (including VAT and delivery). My view (based on dismantling faulty Ring pumps in the past) is that Ring’s engineering is not wonderful and - if one is prepared to fork out over £60 for a 12V tyre-pump - the T-Max product would be the better bet.

blaven Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 There are a lot of impressive-looking, but poorly engineered pumps out there. You get what you pay for. Check out VIAIR compressors. I have a 70P portable compressor from their Sport Compact series. Very pleased with it. www.mattsavage.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david lloyd Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Had a slow puncture on our previous Chausson on the way back from Spain. The van didn't have a spare so was equipped with the Fiat Fix and Go kit which includes a compressor that can be used just to inflate a tyre. Have to say it was very good. Long enough flex too to reach the rear tyres on a 7.4m van. The Hymer does have a spare wheel but also came with the Fix and Go kit so I keep that in the van too.

nige118 Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Hi Armstrong I brought a small compressor from Machine Mart with a tyre inflator and hose, saves messing at garages and I've got it with me. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 I keep my tyre inflator in the van in case I need it and because I know where I've put it [i lose things quite quicky]. I have same as Robbo, bought over 5 years ago and used almost every month. Bit of a pain attaching the battery clamps [battery not easy to access] but I can each reach all five wheels. I've never found Ring products to be quality items although it was considered the best and on offer when I bought it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
