Will this air compressor supply enough pressure to keep our RV tires at 125 lbs?

I would answer yes, kind of. The compressor pumps up and shuts off at 150psi, so it goes up above the 125psi that you need. But, once you start filling the tires and the pressure in the compressor tank drops it doesn't turn back on until it gets down to 120psi (I'm going off memory here). So, it should work well at first, but once you get close to the 125psi level you may have to let a little air out of the pressure relief valve to get the compressor to turn back on to completely top off the tire to 125psi. This compressor is light and easy to tote around, but if you can't plug it into an extension cord while you're airing up the tires it's probably going to be a pain going back and forth to the house to plug it in and let it charge the tank over and over. If you just need to put a few psi in the tires every now and then it would probably be fine though. Another option would be to get one of the portable air tanks that would be much larger than the tiny tank in the this compressor. Use this compressor to top off the larger portable air tank and carry it out to the RV.

The compressor can pump to 150 PSI and since 125 is less than 150 it will fill a tire to that pressure. But to keep the tire at 125 psi implies the compressor is continuously connected to the tire and that is not possible.

It will work but the compressor will be running all the time plus sometimes you might run out of air

Yes it will. I bought mine for the portability of it and I use a3 gallon compressor on mine you just have to let the compressor catch up with it cause the impact will use more air than the compressor will keep up with

Very dicey. A quick trip to Harbor Freight will get you a heavier compressor for not a lot of money. (I have the http://www.harborfreight.com/10-gal-25-hp-125-psi-oil-lube-air-compressor-61490.html )

I would say yes. I use it at 25 PSI and it works just fine. so if your compressor can do the 25 PSI consistently then you are fine. It all really depends what you are going to use it for and for how long.

Home air compressors are regulated to about 90-100psi (the pressure air tools run on). This tank takes 3000psi, so a home compressor will not even come close.

The pressure gauge used to both read the pressure, and set the maximum pressure, has a max setting of 150psi. The trip needle would probably make it cut out at 148ish. So in theory it should be capable of this pressure. FYI the compressor is fairly slow. I used it on a tire with 20 psi, it took about 3 minutes to fill it to 35 psi.

Not sure if it will maintain that kind of pressure. I use it for around 20-25 lbs and it works great. 40-50 lbs for an airbrush sounds like a lot unless you are doing thick automotive paints - more might be necessary.

you need to get a bigger compressor. To run those type of air tools I would suggest at least 33 gal for constant pressure.

Maybe. It's not the pressure you have to worry about, it's the air volume/tank capacity. That little compressor may not be able to keep up. I use an ancient Curtis 220 volt, huge 5HP motor with an 80 gallon tank. It does the job.

The 400 PA RV does not have the volume of the 400, rather it is able to provide more pressure. If you have a need to deal with RV tires in the 110 to 120 psi range as I do, the RV unit works just fine.

Yes but there are a few questions. What are you spraying? A compressor needs to supply 43 to 58 psi at the gun. But air storage of the compressor is important if you are spraying a lot. Small tank storage of the compressor will empty quickly and you will loose pressure. My home compressor has about 4.8 gallons of storage. It is good enough to blow out air filters, fill tires, clean the garage out and supply pressure for short term needs. If I was painting a car, a compressor with a 60 gallon storage tank would a better choice as the compressor would not have to run all the time and the pressure would not vary. Also consider a properly placed water filter that will take the moisture out of the compressed air if that would be an issue for your project. All fittings and tubing are very common and available at your local Sears, Ace Hardware, Home Depot and of course Amazon.

Do not think this will work well for air tools that use lots of air like impact wrenches. For those tools you need a large volume tank. I only use this one for putting air in my motor home tires because it will go to 150psi.

No. This unit is rated at 375 watts. Your air compressor would require 1200 watts at 120v and a 10 Amp draw.

It works just fine. I like the long tip for getting into small spaces (i.e. computer parts). As far as preasure, i use it with a small compressor that can only put out 125 PSI so I am not sure what the maximum pressure could be.

No. The average air pump that fills car tires can only handle about 150 psi This needs 1500 to 3000 psi of pressure.

I run a 150 psi compressor with mine and fill up 35" tires just fine not sure if it would handle 200
