Based on my experience NO!
Our on board air compressor is set at 125 psi. It works well to fill onbaord air tanks.
However in Shawnee, Oklahoma our left front tire was going down. The core was loose and only the cap saved us. I cranked up the mh and with a chuck that latches onto the valve and it did not leak it would not bring the tire up to 110psi.
Could not find a station with high pressure air compressor or any.
A friendly semi Driver pulled along side and connected his 125 psi compressor up
to the tire. He even revved his engine and it did no good. We could not get the tire to over 95 or 100 lbs. Over time I've forgotten exactly how much.
We eventually found a truck stop down the raoad and they aired it up almost immediately.
Air Doublers such as used on Newells and Newmars and possible others cut the amount of air but double the pressure. I haven't found one yet but when I do it will be installed. I only run 100 lbs in the Michelins now.
An extra air compressor filling up precious space just doesn't add up. An air doubler sound like the most logical solution. But....if I buy one to take along it will need to put out 150 psi. Many units you buy can put it out but for some reason NHTSA or EPA or someone won't let them operate or contain in the tank over 125 psi unless it is build so heavy as to make it an insane proposition it seems.
