LOL! You're probably right. I was hoping to get class-a specific responses. People who understand the air requirements of a large Class-A motorhome and maybe make the distinction between servicing the coach, and pretty much everything else involved in a trip.
I would suggest there is a HUGE gap between the air compressor needs of the coach, and the needs of the support vehicles and equipment. I doubt there are any commercial/retail compressors out there that can bridge that gap and not suck on either end of the spectrum. The hammer analogy works here I think. I need a tack hammer, but I also need a 20lb sledge. If you buy something in between, you're going to destroy everything that needs a tack hammer, and not be remotely effective with the things that need the sledge.
So, with this post I was more/less suggesting that I was going to abandon the stuff that needs the sledge hammer and let the pros deal with that stuff. Then attempt to get the largest tack hammer I can, without sacrificing the portability or cost benefits of going small.
I'm pretty happy with the responses so far honestly. Lots to think about.
