Portable Air Compressor for tires
I need to purchase a new portable air compressor for the Montana. Any recommendations?

I have the Viair 400P-RV, very expensive, but it pumps up my 125 pound tires with no problems.

We have a Campbell Hausfeld 150 PSI, AC, still going strong after 9 years. Have an inverter (2000W) hardwired on the truck.

Viair for me too. A little pricey but very nice.

I had the Viair, it died after 1 year. I was looking for something different. I went to Lowes and bought the Porter. Hope it lasts longer.

I too recommend the $100 Porter Cable pancake compressor from one of the big box stores if you can easily store a 120VAc -150psig and 3 cfm. A Vlair has good recomendations if a 12VDC will fill the bill. But, they are costly at 250 bucks and at about 1.6 cfm, are pretty slow. I have the P-C and over the past few years, have found that it will even run an impact gun. My little 12vdc Draftsman which has the same output as the Vlair wont turn it over as it is an air pump, not a tank compressor.

I have the viair, works great, 12 volt portable, quiet & fast. I keep a good quality plug kit with it, saved us a few times. I originally bought it for the beach but I take it every where.

Have viair 3 years now, holding up okay so far. I like the 12vdc feature.

Since I have a generator, I opted for one of these
https://www.lowes.com/pd/Fini-1-2-Ga...essor/50385522
It is small, generates 140psi, and takes less than 2 minutes to fill. The only downside is the small tank.

How large of an inverter would it take to run the porter cable?

Porter Cable compressor
Here is a screen shot of the spec sheet from Home Depot. Does this have an answer for the inverter requirements? 15 amps? I dont know anything about inverters but I am curious also.

if it is 15 Amps a 2K inverter would barely work
I would want a bigger cushion

Well it was a long shot. There is a 1000k/2000ksurge inverter on my coach for the residential fridge.

I have the same. May have to break out the clamp on amp probe and fire it up

Of course that would mean no new tool
