Drive Rite

Have had an ongoing problem with air leak from rear air ride suspension. Could not repair myself so had to keep pumping air in every few hours when travelling.

Was advised to contact Drive Rite and last week brought van up to them. Great service, friendly and helpful. Job done. Many thanks to Austin in Drive Rite.

It's annoying when you are loosing air. I remember when I got mine fitted the same thing happened to one side and I got it fixed on the way back from France. Do you have an onboard pump or do you have to connect a pump?

Texaco had 12v tyre pumps on offer recently. I think it was €10 to buy the pump with every €25 spent on fuel..

Blag I got one from a filling station up here away back and they are really only suitable for blowing up a bicycle tyre. To inflate a vehicle tyre it would take hours. I suppose one only gets what they pay for but certainly the one I've got is no use for a car tyre never mind the Motorhome.

We got one in a Supermarket in France, It was only 6 or 7 euro and it is a great little pump, it pumps the wheel of the Trooper in no time.

I have found a couple of petrol stations that must be using those for airlines as they don't seem to be able to raise the pressure in the mh tyres, I now avoid them.

Got mine at end of Sep 2013. Its an Ultimate speed mini compressor which works from 12 volt connection (cigarette lighter) and weighs 1.7Kg. It says it has an operating pressure up to 10 Bar. Suited what I wanted it for perfectly but don't expect it to inflate the vans tyres. I use it for up to about 3/4 bar only but works on cars fine. Comes with 4 adapters which are handy for bikes also or inflatable accessories for swimming/sunbathing. It actually cost me €15.99.

Drove around Antrim and tried every petrol station to pump the MH tyres up. Not one of them could do the pressure I needed, 79psi, used my local mechanic in the end.

Tried my own compressor lately and although it's quite big it struggles to get over 70PSI.
