Portable air compressors

Hello,I wondered what type or brand of air compressors everyone is using? The portable ones don't look heavy enough for my 22.5 dully wheels, but I hate to lug around a big cylinder type compressor. So let me know what's working for you! Thank you, Lee

I'm driving a DP but it doesn't have an air port off the tank. Can I have one installed without breaking the bank. By the way where is the port mounted? Do you have to carry 50' of air line?

If your RV has air brakes, attach a fitting to the air system so you use it anytime for tires or tools.

A couple of months ago I got a Kobalt KLDP1 at lowes for $50. Unit is very compact seems to work well for my pickup and trailer tires. Says max pressure of 120 psi, and has a digital pressure gauge built in. The big selling point for me was dual power. 12 volt cigar plug, or 120 Volt AC capable in one unit.

I always just use the air port available right on my motorhome. I've got a 30 gallon compressor at home, but even at full pressure, it's not that effective on big tires if I want to add 5 pounds plus on all tires. The air pressure available right on board does the best job.

If you don't have on board air, you'll need a tank with pretty high pressure and a large enough available volume.

Porter Cable pancake compressor. For less than a hundred dollars you can beat them.
