I didn't buy a compressor because I didn't want to give up the room and the weight of the unit. After two years with the Kobalt unit, I kick myself in the rear for not getting one 8 years before that. So much easier and useful for other tasks. But your right, the MH compressor will work but takes patience and a learning curve.
Having a diesel pusher motorhome I just carry a 50 ft. air hose with an air chuck.
Yep, the engine air compressor will most certainly do the job of topping off tires. It has a fairly fast recovery rate but, the primary reason I use the one I showed in the picture is 1, for noise. I figure that, that little compressor is considerably more quite than a C-7 firing up, especially in maybe the early morning or, later in the evening when, say I need to fill up some bicycle tires for an evening ride. And 2, it's not very big, takes up little room and, for the most part, is pretty convenient to use.
I like having the option of two air supplies. Depending on what the circumstances are, I can pick and choose what air supply I will use, depending on the volume needs etc.
