I am looking for a small compressor to use when winterizing an RV (blow out water lines). Is this a good fit?

I would think so. Be careful though that all taps are open, so that you cannot build up excessive pressure

It's very portable and compact. Has sufficient pressure . I use it for a nail gun.

This unit doesn't deliver a large volume of air continuously. The maximum air pressure is about 128 psi. Pressure is great for my nailer which requires high pressure at a low average delivery volume. With several pump-ups and releases into your RV system it will probably do the job.

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.

I would suggest a little bigger compressor. 3gal will function but it may run more than you would like

Lisa, a two or 3 gallon pancake compressor will suit this gun fine. I'm currently using a 27 gallon,(my only compressor I own) and it's complete overkill. This gun doesn't use much air at all. Good like with your purchase David

It will probably work but what I would look at is the type of compressor you have

No you cannot blow out water lines with this compressor. It takes to long to recover and has too small of a tank. Sorry, if you want to blow out water lines, buy a bigger compressor.

This capacitor is a kick-starter for a compressor that is hard to start. It should work on an RV unit and is easy to install. So far it is working great on our unit.

My compressor is larger than 1 HP but I can't imagine that a smaller compressor wouldn't work as well. The UView is a very good system.

Sorry, Michelle; The spec sheet that came with my regulator was for a different model. I can tell you it keeps up with most painting (hvlp) and sandblasting chores. You'd need an Industrial-size compressor to outwork this regulator.

Yes, I got this like a half year ago and it's very good. Easy toUse I do recommend this compressor.

I have one of those cheap 89$ tiny compressors. I think it only has a 2 gallon tank and must be a fraction of a HP. It works fine with this tool.

I use a hitachi EC510 model. 6 gallon capable of working! !!! 2 guns. I use this fir my coil roofers as well. Best lil compressor you can buy. Just look at the customer ratings. Of course one can save money buy getting a throw away from harbor freight. Trust those red portercable lookalikes from H.F. are pretty darn reliable. The name escapes me but just walk into the nearest HF and you'll see it it's like 60$ + tax. So if your only doing smaller jobs thus will get you going fine

I bought mine to use for air-brushing my model cars and I love it. It is super-quiet and fills the tank in seconds! It is by far the best compressor I've ever had for my hobby-work! (I've had at least 5 others).

My compressor is a 21gal. Unit and the line stays pretty dry. The adj regulator on the comp. works well and needs to . I blow out all debri and use 4 or 5 drops of lube per every couple hrs. Use, keep the air adjusted as needed for the size and type of nails. The Hitachi works well , but a water filter is not very costly. Type of use and care is always important.

this one has that feature and is a very quiet running compressor; I recommend it highly. The only downside is the small tank. I added a 5 gallon propane tank for extra volume. With a ball valve cutoff between the tank and compressor, I can use it or not.

Nope, nothing. Wouldn't you think it would? Anyway, great little compressor. Just plan a trip or two to the hardware store before you can actually use it.

My opinion is it would depend on how mobile you would like the compressor to be. If the unit will sit in a permanent location then yes. The other thing to consider is if you really need that much air. the 30 gal offers enough throughput to run a wide range of tools with no problem and can be ported to different location.
