Today I am hearing good things about a lot of compressors but .. For most motor homes you need one in the 150PSI or higher range and I'd recommend at least 5-6 Gallon tank.
Mine is a Crafstman 13 years old from Sears.. It does so much for me.
It airs up the tires
It picks up the motor home (Air/hydraulic jack 12 ton bottle. Harbor Freight)
Hammers, drills. grinds. cuts. polishes, paints and wrenches and more.
I'm with you on this when it comes to filling or even topping off the RV tires. I have a reasonably sized compressor at home and it takes about 20 mins to make a noticeable change in pressure on my RV tires. With the compressor I'm after, I'm not planning on inflating the RV tires with it. Just the car and dolly, and more/less just enough to top off a low pressure situation, or just enough to get me to a shop to get it fixed. I have roadside assistance for the RV. If I have a low RV tire, I'm not messing with that with this compressor. I'll park, pop a pizza in the oven, crack a beer and wait.
