Air compressors
Yalls, I used to have a diesel pusher with air brakes, so I was able to pull air from that system for most things. My new RV is a gasser with...normal.. brakes.. which means no air compressor. I pu...

I have a Fini AirBoss that I carry in my motorhome and like a lot for that duty. This is a small 120V compressor, with a cut-off pressure of 135 psi, so it might not work well for larger class A tires (due to the pressure limitation mainly) but it does just fine for the 80 psi I need. It seems to be pretty well-built, and is comparatively quiet--which means it's still plenty loud, but you aren't obligated by OSHA to pass out earplugs to the entire campground. Occasionally you can get one at e.g. Lowes for around $100.
For filling tires, particularly large tires, the air tank size is pretty much immaterial unless you have a quite large, nonportable compressor. The tire takes more air than the tank practically holds, so the speed of air delivery is limited by the pressure difference and the air pump's CFM (and those two are not entirely independent, of course). For other uses like sporadic impact wrench use or pneumatic nailers the tank size is worth more consideration.
