Air compressor

You've got a generator so get a 110v compressor, in a dry camp situation you can use the generator and be able to use the higher output of a 110v unit. I travel with a small tankless compressor, I seldom use it, and it will put out 110psi and be able to fill my tires(over a long period of time). A small 2 or 3 gallon tank compressor is probably more useful to fill toys, tires, and run an occasional tool, like a power buffer. Do choose an oiless compressor, as there is less upkeep. Happy Trails.

If you have a generator, look at the Sears Airboss. Its a neat little 1 gallon, 135 psi 110 volt compressor. Weighs about 20 lbs and isn't much bigger than some of the 12 volt stuff. Has plenty of power and is compact to boot. Runs about $120 at Sears, around $100 on aale.

The one I use is a 150PSI 4 GALLON Pancake style from Sears.. They no longer carry exactly the one I have but do carry one much like it, (Different tank size as I recall) this does a great job of topping off my 22.5's and yesterday did a great job of blowing assorted debris out of my bread maker. and dust out of one of my DVR's of which I'm rightly proud (The dvrs that is) and in the past has dusted my Freezer and several other jobs.. Blows paint and stain well too.

IN short, a very nice huffer puffer.

Oh, it even picks up the motor home (12 ton air/hydraulic jack from Harbor Freight).

There are less expensive ones (HF now sells 150 PSI models) but .. Well, i've had a number of cheap compressors.. Not a one lasted a year, this Crafstnan I got in 2006 and as I said, used it yesterday.

I've got the little 2 gal Sears air compressor with the horizontal tank that frequently goes on sale for 89-99 bucks. I've had it for over 10 years. Use it mainly for airing up tires. Works fine.

Are you looking for a tank compressor or something to inflate your tires? Most of the responses have been for actual tank compressors, but your comment about using DC power makes me wonder if you are just looking for something to inflate your tires. If that is what you are looking for, I am a fan of the Superflow MV-50. It does a great job and can handle the higher pressures needed for RV tires.

Main purpose is to inflate tires, on the RV, cars, bikes, and then whatever random other uses come up.

Hi,

Make sure max pressure on the compressor is at least 40 psi higher than the pressure you want in the tires. I run my tires at 80 psi and my 115 psi compressor barely does the job.

I own a few compressors. One of my main use compressors is this Hitachi. I have theEC12 but model numbers may have changed. The Hitachi has been in almost daily use for 15 years. It is the best small compressor I've owned.

If you can, get an oil bath compressor with cast iron cylinder. It will outlast the other airless compressors by years. It's also just a bit quieter.

I also have a 12V inflator in the RV for tires and whatnot, if needed. It was on sale for less than $20 so when it dies, i'm not going to be cussing.

I got one of these also. The compressor is made by Fini for sears and DeWalt. I like the size and capacity.
