Air Compressor Recommendations Please

I'm looking for a recommendation for a portable air compressor I can plug into my unit shore power as opposed to the cigarette lighter port or clamp to the battery. Cord length is an issue as reaching my dolly and car tires is necessary. From an earlier post Viair seems to be recommended but I can't find a model that suits my needs.

Thanks for the help!

Before you purchase one that goes into a cigarette lighter port, check with your service department to make sure you do not purchase a device that will exceed the rating of the lighter port.

I keep a Kobalt in the bed of my truck. It will run off 120v or 12v. It's been a great unit so far. Extension chords are cheap too.

How much pressure do you put in your TT tires?

95 psi per chassis guide, it's an Alante. We get the pressure checked at each end of a trip, so the compressor would be for "emergency". Primary for tow dolly and car tires.

I'm pretty sure it's running 65. I keep a digital and manual gauge in the console of the truck too.

I picked up this unit. It airs up my coach's rear tires at 80lbs very easily.

It's rated at 135 lbs, 120 volt AC. $99.
