I've got one in a bag and I added an Anderson plug in the back to power it.....I have a long lead that lets me carry it where I want. Downside is I have to remember to put it in the JK, lol.
I've done the same. I had an ARB single mounted under the passenger seat and it was great until I wanted to put some air in the caravan tyres. The hose wouldn't reach and it was a case of unhitch the van and move the Jeep. When I got the new Rubi I decided to just put it in a bag and power it from the anderson plug on the rear bar, the standard ARB hose can reach all the car tyres and the caravan's from the back. Mine lives in the car all the time.
