Even though the Viair 400P-RV air compressor is one of our favorite pieces of RV gear, it’s not cheap, with an MSRP of $299. We just spotted an amazing deal, so wanted to alert our most loyal viewers. So if you’ve been holding off on this one, now’s the time!
But the sale is only for Amazon Prime members, so if you don’t have Prime, you can get a free 30-day trial here: Amazon Prime. We use our membership for just about everything we buy, and get free 2-day shipping, among a host of other benefits.
Grab this great compressor here:
UPDATE! – Well that was a little crazy. We sent this post out and sold Amazon out within 5 minutes! But not to worry! Even though it says “Usually ships within 2 to 5 weeks” we tried adding it to our cart, and you can still buy it at the great sale price, and then just wait for it to arrive. It will be like Christmas in August! :) So you can still get one, but will have to wait a little bit for it (it’s worth the wait!)
If you’ve never heard of the Viair before, check out our two previous videos (below) about how we use it to inflate our tires and winterize our plumbing system. We love this thing, and the huge string of 5-star reviews makes it clear we’re not alone.
We’re sorry in advance if the price has gone back up or they’re sold out by the time you read this (we just checked and they’re only showing 7 in stock… but “more on the way”)! But we get SO much great feedback from fellow RVers who bought one on our recommendation, that we had to share this so that our most loyal viewers would at least get a shot at one. Good luck!

Excellent comparative details, thank you very much. Without a doubt, the RV model is what I'm looking for.

I guess a lot of folks are concerned about the price of preventative maintenance items, until the expensive price of failure bites them. This air compressor (even at regular price) is an item worth having. Thanks for the reference.

Thanks for the link to that very good article, Jack! We have friends with a Jeep, so we do know about the need to re-inflate tires that have purposely been set to very low pressure for sand, etc. But we've found that with the RV version of these two compressors (the 400P-RV and the newer 450P-RV) there's an easy choice in our book for RV use. Since all us RVers generally need is to top up a few pounds per tire, rather than re-fill tires that have had a lot of the air let out, the 400P-RV is our hands-down choice. We never need the 100% duty cycle that the 450 provides, since our M.O. is to fill a couple of lbs in a tire, let it rest for a minute as we walk to the next tire, fill a couple more lbs, let it rest, etc. We never come anywhere near the 15 minute continuous run time, even if you add up the time it takes to top up all the tires. And since the fill rate is faster on the 400P, it gets the job done quicker, further making sure that it's unlikely to ever take more than 15 total minutes to get the job done. The fact that it's a bit cheaper to buy is the icing on the cake!
