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...

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.
In terms of being ****, I have had mine since I bought my RV 10 years ago. It has been used many times to pump up tires and many, many times to make minor pressure adjustments.
So I looked up the Craftsman unit. If I owned a tire shop that and 50 feet of hose would make sense. Otherwise I would never carry a unit of that size. Way, way too big for my storage compartments. Way too heavy. I don't need or want an elephant gun to kill a fly.
