Hi, good comparison. Could pls tell me which type of battery you used ? Because i have a douubt that it will not work good with lifepo4 (it has higher voltage). I saw victron statement that voltage of panel should be +5v from battery voltage.

what budget compressor would you recommend instead?

Mine rattled so bad I could not stand it anymore so took it out of my Prado, the fridge slide continually came loose, in my opinion not worth the money ..... I wish I had of just got the drawer without the fridge slide and cutting board ....... it now sits in my shed and I am looking at something better ......cheers

thanks for your efforts on this big endeavor. I would have loved to see all the test results in a table so I could compare the results important to me.

Cool, thanks! Going to spend the extra $30 on an xtm or RR single compressor. Closer to home and supercheap/bcf probably have a much easier return process.

Have you tried the terrain tammer ones?

Nicely done, I've been having a problem understanding the 15, does it have to do with how much charging power goes into your battery? Will a 100ah battery, 100w panel charge faster with a 75/15 vs 75/10?

Hi, thank you for the information. I have decided to make the purchase.

Spot on,dont go near them

Love the video! Best vid on the fyreknight

I use cutting board for a charging bench for small lipo battery’s good 👍

Thanks for the LED draw info. Definitely thinking of also a light strip would this be better on top of nudge or up top on rack???

It is what it is. Thanks for the feedback.

The fact that they make it hard to return tells you the product quality is poor.

Did you try getting rid of the crap circuit board in the thumper max and just supplying the motor with direct power? Would be interesting to see if it works again. Thanks for informative the videos 👍

Howzit my one runs for 30 sec n cuts off ...wat u think is wrong

I bought that same one. So much condensation inside, have to empty it and clean it every week. Have you come across the same problem? The company isn't helping at all.

I bought the Juice Boss and when I called for a warranty issue they had gone out of business. Warranty means nothing if its not a reputable company

maybe you could also do a sound test next time on which one is louder compared to the others

Mate you didn't dhoe the install . That's what we wanted.😊

As much as I love ARB products, I know the one you are hinting at… TJM. I personally don’t like most TJM products compared to ARB, but hear over many reviews that their compressors are above ARB and are the very best money can buy. As for the Kings single and double compressors, they only have a 1 year warranty because they barely last one year due to the heat they pump out- they run so hot and fail all the time- right when you need them. For me, you can go cheap on many products but on an air compressor… reliability is everything. I’d rather save another paycheque and buy an ARB or TJM air compressor and know when I need it, it will deliver.

Hey mate great review, was looking at buying the thumper dual piston but after your review im having second thoughts. Which 12 volt compressor would you recommend? Ive just installed airbag man airbags in my isuzu mux so need compressor to pump up those bags and the occasional tyre if i need to. Any advice would be most appreciated. Cheers

Hey mate, does it annoy you that the draw doesn’t come all the way out, do you find that your having to dig in the back of the draw to grab out stuff at all because it doesn’t slide out all the way? And is there a way to make it slide out all the way?? Cheers man

No worries, thanks for responding. 👍

Hi Thanks for responding to my query. I don't suppose you would know which double compressors that are currently available would be similar to the Juice Boss Double? It is hard to find current comparisons on RUclips. Thank you.

Hi, after watching your video I have decided to purchase the Juice Boss twin but I cannot find a website that sells it. Could you please advise a website that sells it. Thanks.

I can't believe there aren't more videos on Southern Cross canvas tents. What an incredible product range. I've got an ultimate trekker tent and awning set up for family travel. Love the quality of Aussie canvas

Just thought I'd mention, Supercheap Auto and BCF are both owned by Super Retail Group. So, the XTM and Ridge Rider gear is most likely out of the same factory.

We have gone through 2 big thumpers, both sounded like they would implode. They were hooked up to a small tank to operate a valve on a water truck, bypassed the 90 to 120 psi switch to a 60 to 90 version and was lucky to run for 1hr bfore shitting itself. Absolutely no load on it up to 70 psi, literally took 30 seconds to get the tank to pressure. Total junk.

i have had my single black thumper for 6 years still going strong, i did buy a twin black thumper after and only lasted 2 years and it slowed down and burnt out and smoke come out of it. Single thumper still pumps up my 33's no problem even with dual hoses

Nice video thank you. Sounds like you'd recommend xtm if comparable price?

I have the XTM drawer which I got as present over 12 months ago. The key snapped in the barrel recently and NO locksmith can get the barrel. Both BCF and Supercheap are both lacking in any support to even ask the distributor for any spares. So if your considering getting this product then consider an alternative brand as XTM has NO support for product failures.

Great video thanks for that, I already have an anderson plug at the rear to charge the camper, could I do the same and just rewire my portable compressor to anderson plug ? Looks like a cheaper option that getting one installed that’s for sure

How did you find the voltage meter controller? How do you use it

Thank you for your hard work. At 24:37 you say that each person has their own needs, and you are right. One of my needs is how LOUD the compressor is. IT IS EXCEEDINGLY UNFORTUNATE that during the tests, instead of letting us hear the SOUND of each compressor, under load...... we heard...... music. For me, therefore, the entire 26:50 video was completely unhelpful.

Good honnest video, my thumper max dual cylinder was used twice and died while miles from any servo in a remote spot in the north west of wa. It was less than 3 months old and i just couldn't be bothered replacing it as there's a reliabilty issue plus they're a liability and i'm not driving 170km's to another servo with 15psi in all tyres (car and camper)

Well done vid, thanks for time and effort to compare.

To reduce the voltage drop, would it be worth considering mounting a compressor in the engine bay? I’ve got space for it on my 02 Ranger. I’ve got a dual cab still with the regular pickup body, I’m not sure if or when I’m going to build a flat bed for it. Are the downsides of being in the engine bay worth it? I think heat, water and mud will be the biggest problems. But I’d feel more comfortable running and fitting airlines to the rear rather than electrical cables

Thanks for this video, whenever I’ve asked the question or seen it asked in 4x4 groups here in the UK, people seem to only be interested in telling me what the compressors are like when pumping up a single road tyre. Realistically being in the UK, I’m never going to be too far away from a petrol station with a compressor unlike you guys in Australia, but it’s still nice to know that the compressor I’m buying will be reliable

thanks mate not much out there showing where the bolts are, helps a lot.

If I have to choose a brand I would go and buy 2x Juice Boss Twin and still pocket half the change of buying the ARB and twice the length of warranty period. The ARB already costs 4x upfront and they can break based on experience, and yes they are rebuildable but the replacement parts and components aren't cheap and can cost as much as another Juice Boss compressor, so in reality you're never gonna get your money's worth. So yes, get 2x Juice Boss and if one fails you can send it off for replacement while have the second one as backup immediately with no gap.

A little disappointed that I can't find anything about the Juice Boss air compressor other than 3rd party sites such as this. If, as I suspect, they've folded up their business their 5 year warranty is worth nothing now.

thank you a million God bless

How they doin now is the water proof

Maybe try some of these mods, to see if you can resurrect the compressors. ruclips.net/video/vbCUkxIeupc/видео.html ruclips.net/video/cs2_kXK_Dr4/видео.html ruclips.net/video/BerfYlBAWD8/видео.html I think the issues with Kings is they do not care about quality control, they accept all items produced and then rely on their warranty to get rid of the duds.

Is there a Battery in thermostat?

WANT TYPE WILL PUMP UP 90 PSI ON TRUCK TYPES AND RUN ON 24V AS LOT WILL NOT THAT FIND LOT DONOT DUTY CYCLE

Cheers mate for the review, Im looking at a set of these for my 2003 hilux to fit in the back of the tub. How are they so fare if you still got them installed. Reason im looking at this brand is so i can fit my Fridge on top and to secure it better then just lose in the back and secure the Battery box down better and protect the Sola Regulator.

Those Victrons are so efficient that they routinely outpace most other mppt controllers on the market, they are fast.

No Bushranger Max Air 3 review this time?
