You're right on Bill. We found out the hard way. Bought this nice 12v portable air compressor. Plugged it into the TM 12v outlet--poof! Compressor rated at 15amps! Can someone tell us what size/type fuse and how/where to replace it. Furthermore, the male 12V jack on the compressor would not fit the TM female 12v without a lot of careful twisting to slowly get it to seat for the connection. Jack was designed for a cigarette lighter which worked fine in our TV, but would not plug into the 12V socket on the TM. Are the TM jacks different in some way than cigarette lighter sockets in a car?

Would appreciate advice on what portable air compressors forum members recommend.
