Tire Inflation - What RU Using
My small tire pump is really struggling to get tires to 80 psi. Also, the cord won't reach from truck to rear tires. What are you using?

I have a Crafstman 120 volt pancake style (6 gallon) 150 PSI rated (160 actual) that does a great job on my 110 PSI tires.
It (with the help of a Harbor Freight 12 ton air/hydraulc jack-jack) can pick up the motor home for maintenance tasks.Roger10378 wrote:
Most all of the major companies that make battery powered tools now have air compressors. If you have any of these tools you can buy the air compressor that goes with the other tools you have.
Just something to think about the pancake compressors require 120 volts to run, the ones that use the same batteries as your other battery tools may need to be recharged. My VIAIR on board runs off the trucks batteries, and best if engine is running. That and with the 2.5 gallon tank it will operate my impact wrench if needed for a stubborn lug.
One last thing it also runs my truck air horns.- Most all of the major companies that make battery powered tools now have air compressors. If you have any of these tools you can buy the air compressor that goes with the other tools you have.

X2- MV-50 running fine 15 years now. Did need to get a new hose.
- Viair 88P for me. Tires only require 70PSI and snall RV has limited storage. Viair is small, reliable, and high quality.

VIAIR here also only mine is constant duty mounted under the bed side rail. Rated at 150 psi with a 2.5 gallon tank, air chucks in the bed and under the hood.
VIAIR on board.- VIAIR X3
It has Heavy Duty Battery cables and a long hose to easily reach all my tires. I had mine since 2012 and it works flawlessly every time.
LeRoy - Also VIAIR. Perfect small compressor.
