You have a class C with generator and storage room. If you want something that is going to air up tires, multiple tires and not break the bank, the best bang for buck and duty cycle is a 120V pancake compressor or similar.
Not sure how it lately "always shuts down in thermal mode". I cannot see needing to adjust pressure or air up tires on the same motorhome more than very occasionally. But for whatever reason if you're using alot of air, either spend $300 on a good Viair 12V that will work forever, but be slow, or get something that will put out some decent cfm at higher pressures.
Personally I can't handle spending more than about 2 minutes per tire airing up from say 40psi to 80psi. But I'm not retired and looking for a way to kill a couple hours rotating the air in my tires...
Forget 12 volt compressors. IMO, those are for inflating your kids air mattresses or your bike tires, not your RV tires. If you want to be happy, get a 120 volt pancake style compressor.
