Wireless Air Helper Spring Compressor System Recommendation for Truck With Pop-Up Slide In Camper
Question:
I have ride rite 2445 airbags on my 2016 Tundra that Im putting a slide-in popup camper on 1,600 lbs. Which air compressor system is best for this setup? I want a wireless system. Not sure if I need heavy-duty compressor, or a light duty.

For a wirelessly controlled compressor system for your Firestone # F2445 Ride-Rite air bags on your Tundra, the system you need will largely depend on how you're planning on using it and how the weight of the slide-in camper is distributed.
If you're really only planning on using the compressor when the camper is installed and then leaving it alone once you determine the desired air pressure, then a light duty compressor would work fine. If you'll be adjusting the air pressure more often, then a standard duty compressor would be a better choice.
As far as a single versus a dual-path system goes, a dual path system allows you to independently inflate or deflate the springs individually. Slide in campers usually have the weight well distributed, so a dual-path wouldn't be absolutely necessary, but it's certainly a nice feature to have.
For a light-duty system, I'd recommend the # F2610 compressor system. This system would actually use your smart phone as the remote.
For a non-wireless dual path standard-duty compressor system, go with # F2219.
