Is VIAIR a good air compressor?
Viair compressors are great, but some models are worthless for RVrs and for those who are unable to get up and down to shut off the compressor during fills just to see if you have the correct pressure.
Can I mount Viair compressor upside down?
You can mount in any direction or position since VIAIR compressors are oil-less. The only position we do not recommend is an upside-down mount, since heat tends to travel upward, and does not dissipate well in the motor housing.
How big of an air tank Do I need to fill my tires?

How is duty calculated in compressor?
