Owl Vans Onboard Air System
Please allow 2-4 weeks for items to ship.
If you go off-road in your adventure van (and you should!) then you know the importance of lowing tire pressures for added traction and ride quality. The not fun part is filling those tires, and the tire of your friends, back up when you're done. With a well-thought-out onboard air system form Owl, filling up those tires can be faster and easier.
System Layout - Air compressors are not new but how you install them and how you run the lines does make a difference. For example, many folks would think stainless lines are best. It turns out they can be the opposite of what you want, an air systems air compressor can get hot, which in turn heats up the metal lines, which causes those lines to heat the air more as it travels down the line. Hot air is less dense which means it can take longer to fill your tires. This is why we opted for high-quality plastic lines. They are flexible, retain less heat and are less expensive.
Next, we wanted to make sure we are sucking cool air into the air compresses. Owl created a simple but incredibly effective method of running the lines inside the air intake. This means those lines are pulling cooler air from the outside world and not hot engine air.
Level 1 Air System
The system is based around the industry workhorse, the ARB twin compressor. The compressor conveniently mounts under the hood on the passenger side and air is distributed to the front and rear connection points. This way you never have to open your hood to air up. Owl Vans took things a step further and moved the
compressor air intakes into the air box to isolate the air intakes from hot engine heat. The provided dual airline sets then connect to your four (4) tires. Flip a switch and you are airing up!
Kits Includes:
- ARB Twin Compressor CKMTA12
- ARB Compressor Bracket / Rear ARB Coupler Bracket
- All mounting hardware
- All fittings and lines to run front to rear

Note: Kit is designed for use with the factory hitch for mounting the rear ARB Air Coupler bracket. If you do not have a factory hitch, you will have to determine an alternate mounting method for the bracket.
Level 2 Air System
Introducing the Owl Vans Level 2, 4-Tire Air System with Bluetooth control. Air up all four (4) tires at once! The system is based around the industry workhorse, the ARB twin compressor and then coupled with the ARB Pressure Control for Bluetooth control of airing down and up using your Android or Apple device with the ARB Compressor Connect App. The compressor and pressure control conveniently mounts under the hood on the passenger side and air is distributed to front and rear connection points. This way you never have to open your hood to air up. And Owl Vans took things a step further and moved the compressor air intakes into the air box to isolate the air intakes from hot engine heat. The provided dual airline sets then connect to your four (4) tires. You can then use the app to control your air down and up! And with the app you can set presets so with the touch of a button you can air down to a preset pressure and air up to preset pressures for your front and rear tires.
