Portable air compressors?

[armyhockeynut]

Looking for recomendations for a portable air compressor that I can use to on motorhome tires?

You guys keep throwing people into the Open Roads threads and they aren't signed in anymore. It's hard to unwind out of there if you don't realize it happened. Stop it

That wasn't a real comprehensive thread anyway, I think we can do better here!

WTH are you even talking about??
the guy gave a simple easy to open link for air compressors
so what? it works fine easy to open and close? no different Than any other link out there
if you don't know how to open link without losing your current link click on shift at the time u open other link;; its not rocket science here now

Years ago I was steered to Sears. They have a Crafstman, I think it is a six gallon "Pancake" style that does 150 PSI... Mine is 12 years old and I'll use it later today.. Still works. (Car tire has slow leak) If the tires on the MH are low it can take multiple tanks but it will do the job.

it also can remove lug nuts (air owered impact wrench) Slice metal (air chisil) pick up the motor home (Air/hydraulic jack 12 tons from harbor Freight) Spray Paint and more.

That must mean you. You're signing out?

For as much as I use it at the trailer, I bought one the cheapest pancake compressors from Harbor Freight and a gauge hose
TireTek TXL-Pro Heavy Duty Tire Pressure Inflator Gauge with Lock On Chuck from Amazon. It works great and is lightweight. I also always keep a blow gun with me for cleaning. I have a pickup with a hard tonneau cover so when plugging in the compressor I keep it in the truck to keep the noise at a minimum.

I have a Powertank. It will give me 250 psi with no power.

I have a Porter Cable and it has served me well so far but if you look at the reviews at Home Depot the Ridgid brand seems to come out much better.

Does "portable" include the one attached to my Cummins diesel for working the air brakes? That one works great for me, at least while in the motorhome.

I'm very fond of my Fini AirBoss compressor. It's more compact than the pancake compressors and reasonably powerful and comparatively quiet (which is to say still loud, just not quite as extremely loud). The cutoff pressure is 135 psi, so it might be slow going for some of the larger tires. It works very nicely indeed for 80 psi tires.

The attached inflator hose is not very good; It's much more effective to use the separate standard air hose (included) and a normal tire chuck (not included) and ignore the little attached hose.

Sears sells the same thing under their own brand for somewhat more money.

I have a pancake that I will keep in the basement. It works on my air suspension as well

I have this one. It’s really nicely put together but it’s not cheap. Viair 40047 400P-RV Automatic Portable Compressor Kit https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004B68XGC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_Iy06zbBVC5TQ7

Porter Cable pancake compressors have been recommended in previous threads on the subject.
