    Hi there,
    I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice on setting up my van to do mobile tyre fitting. I am a tyre fitter and I have have some spare machinery that I want to fit into my van. I have a spare tyre changer, balancer and Compressor (all these were being used at my garage before I upgraded). My question is, what is the best power source for these in the van? Do I get a generator or an inverter with batteries? I will appreciate any assistance in this.
    Many thanks

    Most i have seen that come out to me have had a generator, Maybe bring to a coach builder of vehicle converter specialist to get the equipment mounted correctly and electrics right.

    Compressor. Definitely engine driven and as for other equipment a decent honda generator should be fine.had a 1.5 kva inverter before. But very expensive for a decent branded reliable one and you need the van engine running constant as when battery supply voltage drops to around 12volts the inverter cuts out. Definitely generator better and cheaper
