Air Compressor on Aframe AC?

I bought this air compressor (below) to use with my aframe.. to top off the tires from time to time, etc. If the a122s is plugged in at home.. to a regular outlet, not a 30 amp box.. is it safe to plug this compressor into the outside outlets on the camper? I know i can turn on the lights.. run the tv, etc this way.. but would the compressor be too much?

At 10amps, you should be fine. That is provided your extension cord is fairly heavy.

There is no need to run it off the trailer. It has a 1.5 Gal tank you can fill at the house and then not mess with a power cord when filling the trailer.

At 10amps, you should be fine. That is provided your extension cord is heavy and short.

Or just plug into the power post at CG to fill tank, then use.
