Road trips rarely go exactly as planned.
A tire loses pressure, the bikes need air, or the kids’ pool toys are completely flat. Without a dependable air source, a small inconvenience can quickly become a major delay.
A Pacbrake Onboard Air System keeps compressed air mounted on your truck and ready whenever you need it.
Inflate Tires Wherever You Are
Finding a working air pump can be difficult, and in this day and age, costly — especially when towing a trailer or travelling far from town.
With an onboard air system, you can inflate truck, trailer, bicycle, and off-road tires without searching for a gas station. It will not repair a damaged tire, but it can restore pressure after a safe puncture repair or help manage a slow leak until you reach a service shop.
Make Campsite Setup Easier
After a long day of driving, nobody wants to spend another hour manually inflating camp equipment.
Onboard air is useful long after the truck is parked. Use it to quickly inflate:
- Beach and pool toys
- Sports equipment
- Bicycle tires
There is no need to pack a separate compressor or depend on campsite power.
Adjust Air Suspension as Loads Change
Road-trip loads change throughout the journey. Passengers, luggage, coolers, trailer tongue weight, and camping gear all affect the truck’s rear suspension.
Pacbrake’s ALPHA™ Air Suspension adds adjustable load support, while BRAVO™ Wireless Air Controls let you adjust air spring pressure conveniently from your mobile device or standalone remote (sold separately).
For a complete solution, BRAVO™ COMPLETE Wireless Air Control Combo Kits combine air spring management with an air tank and onboard air accessories in one integrated system.
Air suspension can improve leveling, stability, and control, but it does not increase the truck’s factory Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), payload, or towing capacity.
Air Up After Off-Road Adventures
Drivers often reduce tire pressure for added traction and comfort on sand, gravel, or rough trails. Before returning to the highway, those tires need to be reinflated to the manufacturer-recommended pressure.
Onboard air lets you air up at the trailhead instead of driving into town on underinflated tires.
Keep Adventure Gear Moving
Mountain bikes, dirt bikes, trailers, and other recreational equipment can all develop low tires.
With compressed air available at the truck, a soft tire does not have to end the day — or prevent you from helping another traveller who arrived unprepared.
Choose the Right Pacbrake Setup
Pacbrake offers onboard air systems for different truck and travel needs.
Compact systems, like the BRAVO™ HP10718 ½ gallon Air Tank kit, provide a convenient air source for tires, inflatables, air suspension, and occasional accessory use.
For a larger tank option with a greater air reserve, BRAVO’s™ HP10719 2.5 gallon Air Tank kit provides more stored air for frequent inflation or larger equipment.
For trucks equipped with ALPHA™ Air Suspension, BRAVO™ COMPLETE combines wireless suspension control and onboard air in one professional package.
Bring the Air With You
Jumper cables, recovery gear, ratchet straps, tire plugs, and basic tools are all road-trip essentials. Onboard air belongs on that list.
It can turn a low tire into a manageable roadside stop, make campsite setup faster, and help you adjust your suspension as the load changes.
With Pacbrake BRAVO’s™ Onboard Air Systems, you are not searching for the next compressor.
You brought it with you.
