I don't believe that 12 volt DC power is adequate to inflate RV tires to 80psi with most 12 volt compressors. If you try to use them, better have the RV engine running to keep house battery voltage up and connect directly to the battery. I have a cheap Campbell Hausfeld 110vac tank type compressor, powered the RV generator, that just barely does tops off rear duals to 80psi with patience and proper technique. The thing is bulky and takes a lot of room in the cargo bay. One of the minor problems with RV's. Don't ride with under-inflated tires.
Most truck stops have high capacity air pumps. Might be a better solution than carrying a barely adequate compressor.
The sticker on the inside of the driver side door says to inflate both front and rear to 65psi. Are you saying they should be at 80psi?
