Air compressor

Long time lurker, decided to register and post today. :)

I bought a 1998 Georgie Boy Cruise Master from the original owner April 2013. They left a lot of things in it because they were ending RVing due to health issues.

Anyways I'm slowly adding things I think I need. Currently I'd like to get an air compressor. I'd use it at home and also want to take it with me on the road for the RV tires.

Any recommendations? I was thinking a normal one that plugs into the house, and can use the outlets on the exterior of the RC. The 12 volt ones seems to be mostly if not all underpowered from the reviews I've seen.

Thanks,
Matt

    I thought you were asking about 110 volt, but if you have any interest in a 12 volt, this Viair 88P gets my truck tires from 70 to 80 PSI in no time. Pressure to spare. It's quiet, as well as compact. Gotta attach it via alligator clips to a 12v supply ie. camper or truck battery. For tires, it's all I need while on the road.

    I seldom need an air compressor but I have one of these in every vehicle. Clicky Have two in your camper if you like as they take up very little space. In my 52 years of marriage the wife and I have full timed around 24 years due to my work and I can only recall several times I needed air. For flat tires we have Road side service, however in an emergency I can change a tire.
    Usually some nice person will stop to help and I tip them accordingly.

    EDIT to make it clear that this if an EMERGENCY air compressor and isn't designed for full time use.
