Good 12v air compressor

[EdTheEdge]

Looking for suggestions on a good 12v air compressor for my C. Small and powerful and reliable if possible.

I have an extremeaire from outback extreme. Been mounted under the truck for well over ten years. 100% duty cycle. Several years ago they came out with their magnum. While not as powerful nor nearly as expensive as the oasis mentioned previously it is pretty nice

I second the use of a 120v as most 12v leave much to be desired. Have 1 that I tried to use on tires with extensions, would not screw on had to buy an adaptor to make it fit. You should have a generator on the rv so use uit, just make sure you have a heavy extension cord not a cheap imported one so as to allow the unit to run right. Harbor freight is where I got mine $39 on sale. Its the hotdog type single tank 120 PSI I think. Have also used it for light nail gun use out in back yard.

If it clamps direct on the battery only then it is probably a decent compressor.
Anything that draws power from a cigar connector is going to be weak.
I use an MV-50 compressor as needed for at least a decade. Had to replace the hose a couple years ago.

For real power there is Oasis that pulls up to 180 amps 😉

To an extent, "powerful" and "12V" rarely go together for air compressors. Viaiar 12V compressors are generally well-liked and seem to be among the best available. They have several models of varying capability and duty cycle and price.

If you have a generator or a decently sized inverter, a small 120V air compressor may be a practical option and rather easier to find. I carry a Fini AirBoss compressor, ca. $100 or less on sale occasionally from Lowes. I've been quite happy with it so far for typical class C needs (like topping off tires). It would be hard-pressed to do much with, say, an impact wrench or die grinder.
