Air Compressor
Looking for a decent air compressor to air up the tires for around $100. Seems like all the ones I've looked at does not come with any attachments. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I use this one. Works great. Preset the PSI, and it cuts off when reached. No more trial and error that has me bending over too much. Has lots of attachments I don't use. Also, this model's hose screws onto the valve stem, unlike others I've had that just snapped on. The snap-ons are too easy to get a bad seal and just difficult to get off and on.
It's also very accurate. I tested it against my dial guage, and readings were exactly the same.

Mine's a Dewalt DWFP55120 3 gal compressor. Lowes & probably Home Depot carry them for about $120. It's small enough to tote around & can air up to 135 psi with gages on both the output and input. I check my tires about once a week & frequently use it. So one of those little "cheap" ones just won't do the trick.
Shop DEWALT 0.6-HP 3-Gallon 135-PSI Electric Air Compressor at Lowes.com=

I like this one because it has the higher presser needed for RV tires. Porter cable CMB 15 150 psi

I have a Goodyear i8000 120 V direct drive air compressor. It inflates my tires on 3010ds without any problems. It does not take up much space and goes with every trip

Here's something you might want to consider as a carry along item
Stanley Fat Max 450 Amp Jumper with Compressor has 450 amps of instant starting power, with 900 peak amps of power. It includes a 120 PSI compressor, DC charging plug, heavy duty metal clamps, AWG cables, and a high powered LED light. $55 at Sam's
Larger faster compressor for home use is a must. But if you're ever caught on the road with a low battery or tire or just need 12v to run an accessory this thing is the bomb! And at $55 a real bargain. Small and lightweight too

My issue with those, Canonman is that I can't get its air nozzle onto my inner dually tires and I think I had issues with it airing up my camper tires. I need something with a replaceable air chuck.

You're right, no air chuck on this one. But for those of us looking for a quick way to fill a low tire while on the road or jump a dead battery (cause some knuckle head left the dome light on getting ready for a pre-dawn hike to photograph some rocks) this option works well. Honestly I don't leave the driveway without it and my can of "Fix a Flat".
It's a little slow getting a truck tire back to 70 lbs but not as slow as getting the spare out and doing that dance.

Sorry that post went completely wrong. The Porter-Cable CWB15 is ready to handle RV tires and airbags and you change fittings.

I have the Porter-Cable 3.5 gallon 135 psi compressor someone noted above. Fits neatly into one of our 3170's outside compartments, fills tires up to 80 psi rapidly, runs on 120 volts from the generator or shore power, not too heavy. Perfect solution for us after buying one too small the first time.
