My Campbell-Hausfeld air compressor finally quit. When the connector is applied to the valve stem, the pressure goes to near zero.

Any recommendations on a new one? I never was really satisfied w/this one. It had a hard time inflating to 95 psi. Suggestions appreciated.

THUDMAN: I know you will find this hard to believe, but, I use a 12volt "up to 300psi for truck tires" el cheapo from the auto parts store. I can get (after a wait) the full 110psi allowed in my XRVs. My 2hp oil lubed 2 1/2 gallon tank compressor from Harbor Freight won't even get me to 95psi, even though the pressure switch is set to 120. Go figure! ED

Read the posts under Webster, down below in MH - General Discussion. You will find some answers there.

For one, I'm going to check out the Sears gas air compressor.

I bought a Husky compressor from Home Depot for $99 and the first time I had a chance to use it was for a DP Mountain Aire parked next to me. At first I was not to impressed as it took a bit to air up the tire to 110 lbs. But, the owner was really impressed, as he said I just air "both" the inside and outside duals at the same time. I now use this to air up my tires instead of of my 230v shop compressor (over 20+ years old) as it isn't up to snuff pressure wise.

Lowes also has a version that is similar to the Husky. Both do 135 psi.
