Tim,

On my 1962 Bambi the air compressor is 12 volt. They need to be 12 v so that when
you are boon docking it will still work. I really do like the pressure type system
in the Bambi. Once the tank is brought up to pressure I at times can go for several
days before having to turn on the pump again. ( I tend to be very conservative in
water usage when need be.) P.S. I try to fill the water heater with city pressure
before hitting the road as this job will put a lot of extre wear on the compressor
and batteries.
