Sailor Posted May 19, 2014 Share #3 Posted May 19, 2014 I think you might need a trailer to carry it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etcswjoe Posted May 19, 2014 Share #4 Posted May 19, 2014 You have to make a platform for the tank to slide into your trailer hitch and if you use quick connects you can mount the tank in your trailer when you need to tow it. The real issue is current draw the compressor can draw up to 26 Amps but you can use a lower rated compressor just takes longer to fill. Make sure the horns are pointed away from you!!! You could replace the tank with a smaller chrome one: http://xwad7.dvw4p.servertrust.com/product_p/the-tank-03-stl.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyinfool Posted May 20, 2014 Share #8 Posted May 20, 2014 (edited) ah come on guys...I was making a funny! Ya never know around here. I wouldnt put it past someone. I'm working on it. http://www.hornblasters.com/products/details.php?i=shocker-228vx-train-horn-kit There is smoke coming from my poor little cad system and my poor little brain. I have several items up on ebay right now to generate the funds for this project. As long as it is powered thru a relay direct from the battery the power draw is not an issue. Its not like the compressor is always running, it is very intermittent at most. It will plug into my receiver and then also double as a rack to load a small cooler on top of. I also have a receiver mounted to the trailer so I can still have it while towing. It also has an air hose for inflating tires.

etcswjoe Posted May 20, 2014 Share #9 Posted May 20, 2014 Cool, How much are you going to sell them for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyinfool Posted May 20, 2014 Share #10 Posted May 20, 2014 (edited) HA! Let me get one built first. I still need to buy the horn and then acquire a new TIG welder to build the aluminum box. I could weld it using my MIG welder (I do already have all of the stuff for welding aluminum) but the welds are not very pretty compared to what can be done with a TIG welder. My first one will most likely be MIG welded, or maybe even bolted and/or riveted. Edited May 20, 2014 by Flyinfool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
