I carry a Porter Cable "donut" style 165 psi portable compressor in the RW, it comes with an air line long enough to reach the tires if the compressor is plugged into outlets on the front of the RW. It fits easily in the basement. Got it at Home Depot

If I need to use it on the road I can fire up the genny.

It takes a while to bring up the G rated tires to pressure.

It's also handy to have around the house running brad nailers.

I have a VI air 200 PSI compressor with 10 gal tank installed under the bed of my truck. it runs my truck bags and flex air from the cab and I have an air chuck behind the cab on each side to air tires or run air tools

We have the Porter Cable air compressor also. Fits nicely in the front storage area of the RW...we like the portability of the unit. Small and lightweight...yet plenty of pressure.

X3 on the Porter Cable, added a wire shelf in front Storage (no generator) to mount it on & put a retractable hose reel in the propane compartment.

Bob,
I got the reel at Northern Tools with 25-30' of hose on it, works great.

Don't drink the root beer, it's a little (no a lot) soapy.
Yes Bob, If backed up to the RW I can teach all 10 tires with the supplied hose.
