How big an air compressor
Will my Honda 1000 watt generator run? Maybe 3gal? Thanks. And is there a formula to convert amps to watts? Thanks.

you will have better luck running a larger motor 'tankless' compressor/inflator
it won't have the heavy surge load working against a tank, kicking on an off
large tank compressor for airing tires in an RV is just extra weight
the volume and weight of the tank adds nothing to the ability to air up an RV tire
its nice for bicycles and air mattresses ,float tubes etc..to use the tank air with out power, it does not help in airing up the tire , in fact the on/off restart under load just slows down the process of airing the tire up, and makes the generator work harder, with the surge strain, instead of a nice constant load
