Fred,

I'm not sure the exact model you're referring to, but if you're talking about filling the tire from nearly flat, IMO it probably will, but it will probably take a long time. However, if the seal between the tire and rim is broken, there will probably not be enough surge from a 2 gal. tank to reseal the bead.

On the other hand, if you just want to top off the pressure, then it will almost surely work fine. I have a Sears 125 psi, high volume, tankless compressor (that I don't think is sold anymore) and it will raise the pressure in our 22.5" motorhome tires by 5 psi in a matter of a few minutes. Although I normally don't carry that much pressure, I have used it up to 110 psi with no problems.

There are numerous threads on iRV2 about various models of air compressors. Use the "Find" button at the top of the page. Uncheck the box that says "Search current forum only."

Yep....110 volt will fill those tires very fast!

Driver, Do you have the model number of the tankless air compressor you have? I've searched Sears website and the only tankless they show is the Hausefield tankless which is not in stock. Is this the one you're talking about?

Since this is a tankless compressor when you use it you have to inflate the tire and then turn the thing off OR ELSE the hose gets hot. Compressed air will do that BUT folks think somethings wrong with the compressor since the hose gets so hot. They just turn the thing on and never turn it off. Sears must have had too many returns on the unit so it's no longer offered. Now that said, I would get their smallest tanked 110v compressor in a heart beat if it'll inflate up to 120 PSI.

Absolutely anything is better, other than 12volt, than dealing with a gas station to air up your tires +Plus+ the convenience of being able to inflate your tires on your terms is priceless!

Thanks Driver. After I sent you the last message, I did a search and found someone had suggested the compressor depicted in this website. http://www.hollawayhome.com/RV%20Stu...Compressor.htm It's a 1.5 gal portable. I don't they make this anymore also. I'll just have to start looking. Thanks again.

I bought a Husky compressor from Home Depot $99... It fits in a bay and will do 135 PSI. I have filled a a dual fill 22.5 tire to 110 psi and it runs my HD 1/2 impact wrench to install the front or rear trac bars.

Oemy, is this it http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Prod...N=10000003+90401+985

I also use that Husky unit and find that it is all that I need. I changed the fitting to one that can clamp on as it is uncomfortable for me to sit and hold. Now, I just clamp it on and pop it off after the tire is full.

Fred,
That's the UPDATED version of the one I have. It's made by DeVilbiss.

Joe,
I did the same thing... Just a couple of bucks for Harbor Freight.

I also added quick disconnects, some extra hose and a water filter, all from Harbor Freight. It sets in a basement that I added a 120v outlet. Remember, always open the drain after use.
