Mobility Kit (air compressor)

[jmckinley]

Yesterday I needed the air compressor to fill up a tire on my mother's car. I'm really glad I tried it before I need it on the road someday.

 

Here's an important message to everyone.  Get out there and try to remove the kit from under the Passenger's seat before you need it out on the road.  The practice will be helpful.  I would have hated to do it in the dark, in the rain on the side of a road.  Everything is black under there and the straps are velcro which get all hooked up in each other and the carpet and it's hard to reach because your wrist bends the wrong way.  It's not that hard, just worth trying for the first time under more friendly conditions before you actually need it.

Helps to slide the front passenger seat all the way forward. I don't use the velcro straps, I find that gravity keeps it in it's cubby hole just fine.

When I got mine out the first time, I almost was afraid that I was breaking something. jdbob is right...definitely pull the passenger seat all the way forward.  Flashlight helps, too.

if I need to use mine hopefully the wife wont be with me. Since getting her out of the seat to access it and possibly in the rain would not go well for me.
