Tire Air Pump / Inflators
A major error on my part is not checking the tire pressure each time I am going on a trip ( just laziness). I am dissatisfied with my current Campbell Hausfeld inflator. My Jayco Pinnacle tires are ST235-80R16 (D rated) and require 80#. There are so many different inflators I thought that I'd ask the forum for inflator recommendations. Thanks folks

I thought D rated are usually 65 psi ?
I know mine are and the E rated on my TV are 80 psi.

If you have Ryobi cordless tools, the $19.99 inflator does surprisingly well. I can say it gets you to 65 psi pretty quickly.

I can't remember the brand, but, I shopped for one 'made for trucks'. I think it wass $60 or so.
It takes a lot of volume and pressure to fill a truck or trailer tire. I tried one of the smaller compressors with tank and it did not have enough volume. You want high CFM at 90psi or better.
PS I don't leave home without my TPMS either

IF you have an inverter on board then this is what you want...

the smaller one is ok but as you near 80 psi it seems to take forever to finish topping off the tire

Forgot, you do want a 150psi or higher capacity. If only 100 it seems like it will never get to 80psi.

I have this setup...the VIAIR 400P-RV. I run 110psi in my tires and this little guy does the trick in no time flat. It's compact and very well built. A little pricey, but I don't think I'll have to buy another one anytime soon.

Do you think the Viair 300p would work well for 80 psi tires?

I also have the VIAIR 400P-RV. Plenty of power and air hose.

Unsure but I also have the 400rv and it's awesome. I use it for truck tires, air bags, trailer tires, stroller tires, everything. Quieter than I expected.

Another vote for the VIAIR from someone who’s had to change a flat on the camper and the spare was low. Fully loaded 23RB didn’t slow the compressor down one bit airing that tire up. I use it for everything and liked it so much I bought a spare to keep in the other vehicle.

Well, those Viair do look nice, and expensive too.
I got this one cause I wanted 120V (I already had a 12V).

It only takes about a minute to air up my rear tires from 45 to 80 psi.

I have a viair on my truck with a 5 gallon tank. I can air up my g rated tires with ease. I also have the Fini 120 V compressor from lowes. It works really well also.
