You can pay more but you cannot get a better deal than this:

SuperFlow MV-90 Portable - Air Compressor

It is a quality compressor that runs for 45 minutes on 12 volts and will fill an empty tire twice as fast as Viair because it puts out twice the volume.

It is also, less than 1/2 the price of the Viair.

VERY LARGE bang for yoru busk

I use the Viair 400P, which easily pumps my 5th wheel tires to 110 PSI

Another Viair recommendation. I've had to fill 125psi tires with it before and it goes quickly.

The OP shows a travel trailer and a SUV , he does not need 125 lbs pressure . My 850 watt inverter runs my pancake fine and it came with a nail gun , all for $85 .

Yep, love my pancake cheap air compressor. Having a reservoir is great when you are using a brad or staple gun to make repairs and modifications. Just installed 2 shelves in a storage area and made the space useable. Couldn't have done it without my pancake compressor.

The best compressor is the one that blows the tires up!

Had a Viair for several years. It works great like others have said here. Since the 7 pin round plug on my truck has 12v & ground on pins 1 &4, I made an adapter plug to plug my Viair straight into it. This way the compressor sits at the back bumper and reaches the truck or 5ver tires with a shorter airline.

Great idea.

Watch size

The only think I'll add is pay attention to the size vs where you want to store it. Originally, I bought a pancake compressor to use on my motorhome only to realize it was too tall for the outside storage compartments. So, I kept that one for my home garage and bought a 1.2 gal Fini hot dog air compressor for use with my motorhome. Both work great and do the job but one didn't fit in my storage compartment.

Viair 450P

What PSI do you need...depending on your RV tires? Bottom line, buy the best unit you can afford with the highest ratings/reviews. I LOVE the Viair 450P for my RV - my tires need 110 psi. This unit is super quiet, super quick to top off my tires, and super easy to use. When I purchased this unit (on Amazon), I also purchased the digital readout with the tire stem clamp ...makes this process sooooooo much easier.
