Portable air compressor?
Give me some recommendations for a portable air compressor I can use for the tires and the airbags. Thanks in advance!

12Volt 150 PSI Compact Air Compressor is the one I have used, not fast but priced low. The screw on air chuck was akward and I replaced with a lock on type. The real problem was with the tire valve extentions which didn't seal well with the air chuck, even at the truck stop. Seems the capless extentions don't work well. Also very akward to get in the space allowed by the wheel covers. Still working on it though.

Check with Auto Zone for a Slime compressor. There are several levels of pumps and they are not expensive. I have three different units and they have all worked well over the many years I've used them. IMHO

I went El Cheapo. If is screws up, it's not to expensive to pitch it away. Works pretty good...

X4, but not the RV version as I already owned the air chuck and hoses from a 120v compressor that I was replacing.
While this is a 12v compressor, it's not slow and it's well built. Also, their customer service is quite good.

This is what I bought. Expensive and worth every penny. Excellent product.

What's a good price for the VIAIR 450P RV?

I use the Stanly Fatmax 450 from Sam's Club for about $60. This also gives me emergency jump start power for the TOAD should I need it. I bought a 3' extension cord and plug it in once a month next to the Dyson to charge it.

I've found that it's worth looking at the "Customers also bought...." links below any item on Amazon. Many of these compressors are made by the same factory in China, just sold under different labels.

That very well maybe... But the one you linked to isn't one of those similar models.

Seems like a lot of expense for very little benefit
