I bought a small contractor type Sears compressor back in 2005, and it fits in by basement storage compartment in my Bounder. I would still recommend one. I had to adjust up the pressure switch a little bit to make it produce 110 PSI.
Any single stage compressor will be rated around 120 PSI and it's tank close to 135 pounds working pressure. 2 stage compressors are normally rated at 175 PSI with a 200# rated tank, but also normal 2 stage compressors are mounted to a 80 gallon tank! I have not seen less than a 3 HP 220 volt 2 stage air compressor. It would be nice if someone made a compact 135 PSI rated 2 stage compressor, but I have not found one yet. ..
