I know some have installed air doublers in their units to allow them to use onboard air for filling their tires, which is pretty elegant but I have opted to carry a stand-alone compressor which came recommended over on IRV2. Specifically, I carry a Porter Cable 150psi 2scfm Portable Air compressor with an array of air tools. It works well for most jobs but I’m finding it takes forever to bring my tires up to pressure before I hit the road - 6-8 minutes per tire. Usually my front tires are fine but I’ve found before departing that my two of my drive tires - have dropped down to 80 or 90psi from 118psi whenever i arrived, after sitting week.
So, that’s moving a lot of air at a pretty high pressure, I get it but i’m Looking to see if others have found reasonably priced portable compressors that handle this task better.
Also, if you have an air doubler installed in your unit, I’d be interested in hearing about how it performs when bringing your tires back up to pressure.
