For aux air and how big? Have heard they are quiet and go up to 150 psi. adjustable.Available In many voltages and price ranges. I need to operate doors and maintain air bags for leveling. Very little leaks.(famous last words). Bob
Don't the Jun/Air comes in AC only they are big in the Prevost conversions I guess because they cost so much I am not impressed with the Jun/Air they did not sound all that quite to me
That's where I got the idea. Will just continue with my old ways! Just checking. Thanks. Bob
I saw a Jun-Air at a rally. My bus is a 4104 in the "stripped down and early reconstruction" phase, but I was invited to the rally and learned a ton. I was VERY impressed with how quiet they are - just a humming sound at, maybe 1/4 the volume of a quiet conversation. I couldn't hear it 20' from the coach with the bay door open. They make them for medical and dental offices. I found a two unit dental compressor at a used dental resale warehouse. The guy said it was "broken", but both motor ran when it was plugged in. I think there is a pressure sensor or valve that's not working. plan on removing one unit and hooking it directly to a suspension line (no tank) with a pressure switch only (110#). I paid $50.00 for the whole unit. It's 110v, 177psi max. I found one just like it on ebay for $1395.00. The original pressure regulator is $395.00. Mine has one for each motor, so I think I'll get one good one out of it, if not both. I don't see why you couldn't use a generic regulator. Being a medical device the prices are always 10 times industrial prices. If both units are good, I'll have a second one for sale.

Air brush compressors are the same dB rating as the Jun/Air (50 to 65 dB) one to keep the system up will cost less than 100 bucks you don't need breathable compressed air for air bags or to flush a toilet lol
We all hear different sound level to me the Jun/Air is very annoying @ 65dB
