Air compressor connection

Hi Guys and Gals. What compressor would you recommend for a motorhome when changing tyre pressures and how do you connect it without dismantling the RV to get to the battery. Tyres on ours run at 80psi on the bitumen. Thanks in advance. Dave

Some owners have half a dozen (or more) Andersen Plugs spread around their vehicle (inside and out) and some would be near the tyres.

Having an Andersen Plug on the compressor power cable completes the story.

Thank you very much. Yes an Anderson plug and a decent compressor seems to be the best option

I changed the fitting on the end to a Anderson plug and now connect to back of Collie with engine running. I made up a 5mt lead out of 6B&S cable with Anderson plug each end to reach if needed.
