Hi all,

Any one have comments on portable air compressor for tire maintenance?

Hi ! Welcome to IRV2! We're sure glad you joined the gang!

Congrats on the new rig! If you want the best portable air compressor I would recommend the VIAIR 450P-RV. It's expensive but well worth the price! Have fun and keep her between the ditches!

Good luck, happy trails, and God bless!

Welcome to the forum.

You are joining a good group of folks here with good info to share. What ever compressor you get make sure it supplies a pressure well above what you tires require.

Enjoy the adventure.

Viair makes quality units in various sizes, depending on how much tire you need to inflate. I have this one, it's more than enough to put 80 psi into my truck tires.

Viair 88P

Viair seem to be the consensus among most members. You also need to know what air pressure you need to get to for you tires. A small pancake compressor may do the job for you.
