Need a air tank and compressor too, to put them on the Suburban. On my Allegro (class A I owned before upgrading) I put a 7 gallon air tank from Walmart. Then I bought a Viarre (spelling?) 12v air compressor from ebay. It's the kind they use on those low riders I think. It was probably a bit overkill but I wanted to also use it to air up the 100psi tires. Plumbed the compressor into the tank. Then put a nice pair of Hadley air horns in with a electric over air solonoid, wired to the original electric horn. Worked great. Sounded like a cruise ship. When I blow out the train horns I might go back to some deep Hadleys for a change.
