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

    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.

    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.
