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?

PortaCable makes the Sears compressor above and has their version of it.
I think you mean Porter-Cable....who sold out to Black & Decker (ick) several years ago. B&D was acquired by Stanley Works (which also owns Delta & DeWalt).
If you guys are having to air your tires (even once a month) i'd suggest somethings up. If you had a Tire Pressure & Temperature Monitoring system i think you'd see that a compressor is unnecessary & consuming more of your time that necessary.
Im find since the install of my TST 507 system i usually only have to drag out the hose & adjust my tire/air pressure 1 or 2 times a year at the most !
This is sort of the same question I've had - how often are most people having to put air into your 22.5 tires? We use our DP about 6 months out of the year. We've been from low elevaions up and down the west coast to Steamboat Springs and from 110d to in the snow at Steamboat. I have very little change in my air pressure. In two years I haven't had to add any air to my six tires. With all the differences of where we've been, the air pressure hasn't varied more than 3 - 4 pounds. Have I just been very lucky with my tires? My tires are four years old.
