picking out right air compressor
I want to buy anew air compressor that will air up my tires on my phaeton motorhome. I usually run them at 110 psi. Will a 150 psi compressor be big enough?

how often are you needing to add air ??? once a year ? twice ?
if you're having to CHECK your tire pressure (which you should) frequently why not install a tire pressure & temperature monitoring system ? Since i installed my TST system i never (have) to check my pressure (i just turn on the monitor)....no more hauling out air line or gauges, only to discover that i don't even NEED any air.
A small 110 (or even 12v) compressor won't be fast either. If you want FAST (quiet) fill ups/top-offs use a Co2 Tank....you can exchange the tank for about 14 bucks when it gets empty or low.
Co2 systems from Smitty Built & PowerTank can not be exchanged, will age out & need to be repurchased every 5 years or so.
a 150-175psi Co2 regulator will run you 50-70 bucks can support several dozen tire fill ups.
