Default Re: Easy Air Compressor Install in Rear Door!!

regarding the heat question...
There is more clearance in there than the picture shows and even more so if you get a smaller compressor.
This setup is simple and power is not connected until you stop and open the rear compartment. I haven't done a full test but I think it will depend on what compressor you have. Mine was a bit more expensive and I assume more powerful than some others, so it fills tires quick without too much strain and after doing two tires it was nowhere near hot enough to melt anything. Also the whole compressor doesn't heat up, mostly just the cylinder part with the cooling fins. With this mounting option you can run the compressor outside on the ground or from inside the door, depending on the situation.
