Power for Airflex Storm
« on: May 21, 2017, 05:15:41 pm »
I want to draw the power from the cigarette lighter to van so i can plug in my airflex storm and heater so roughly 3 plugs, ie maybe from an extension lead. Please help with any advice and if u know of links of somewhere i can get this would help so much.

what wrong with the house electricity ?    forget running it off the van , the short answer is it wont work .
If u want to leave the storm in the van , run extension cables from house to van .  Although some might not advise it u can run one good thick (2.5mm) extension with a double head plug socket just for the storm if u keep the pump at <400psi to keep amp draw lowish . Otherwise use two extension cables to the van ( u could even cable tie them together .
Bring your magma heater ( if thats what u got ) close to where your working , like leave it just outside the door and plug it into the hall , or bring it inside . This will mean u wont have to run another extension to the van , and the heat is better close to the wand .
