Don't want do that anymore. Post #1 was what I thought I wanted. After research I have ordered a 12 volt inflater.

Thanks

Have bought cheap and screws fell out w/ first use, but without affect on operation; bought the 12v KOBALT, found cord 3-feet too short to reach rear tires, so put it in the DW van, bought the dual 12vdc/ 120vac KOBALT w/ auto-shutoff w/ LONGER cord; 120v cord options :-) Reviewed VIAIR, looks to be very high quality and worth the money, just not MY budget :-( Past experience w/ cheap airless is they fail w/ no notice.

Hands down, the best portable compressors on the market.

I have 4-365/70 and 4-315/80 22.5 tires and got the 450 since it has a longer duty cycle even though it has less volume. And yes it will put 120 psi in the 365/70's.

Good. I have a Viair 450 and love rhe versatility of it.

Got the 450P RV today and it is a good machine.

Front tires are easy with the twist on valve connection. It took 4 minutes per tire to take 110 # to 120 psi. Temp was 65 degrees and coach had not moved in three days.

Back tires use the push on/pull on valve connection. I got it done but it took a while since my valves were at the 12 and 6 o'clock position. Better would be 9 and 3 but up on jacks could not change position. Made it hard to see without almost laying down. I sat on my stool for the front but could not use it on the rears.

I have one too and every time I use it, I have a small crowd around me and they say they are going to buy one.

True


I think Viairs are more cost-effective https://4wdlife.com/portable-air-compressors


My personal favorite is the 400P.
