What air compressor do you carry?
Finally upsizing to a larger RV and want to carry an air compressor that will inflate an 80 lb tire. Been checking out the Viair, a bit on the costly side, but good reviews. Downfall it has to connect...

I cannot understand why so many of you spend so much on expensive compressors. I bought a $40 Slime brand from Walmart years ago. It stores easily since it is a little different shape but about the same size as a loaf of bread. It works fine to over 100 psi. Yes it is slow but I have only used it once to pump up a flat. Typically I just use it to adjust pressure with temperature changes or after months when an adjustment is needed. It runs off the cigarette lighter so I do not need a generator or a hook up.
Those things are ****, IMHO. You need a real compressor. We carry a 150 PSI Craftsman compressor. $99.00 at Lowe's. Plus 50' of hose and I also carry 2 Honda generators. Seems like a lot, but both set right on top of my toolbox when needed for tire pressure. And you don't have to sit around waiting for the pressure to build. 15-20 seconds usually does it.
