That's where I'd start.

Looks like Dewalt is the best thing out there.

Go to Harbor Freight and get a 5 gal air compressor.
and an Inverter that will handle it. Leave it in the TT so you'll always have it if needed. With the tank it'll run an impact wrench as well.

PS it doesn't necessarily need to be a HF, there are some other decent options out there and not much difference in price.

Most people into RVs have a portable generator.

I have this:

Bought this little Bauer unit from Harbor Freight for our 2018 RAM 1500 and T@B trailer. They give you a deal if you buy a battery and charger along with. Harbor Freight guy told me to spring for the largest battery; lasts longer when airing up four big tires. The charger plugs into the 110v outlet in the dash to recharge. Handy, also fits our retiree budget!

I've had a Viair Portable RV Compressor for 8 years. Works great. Used it on this last 1500 mile trip. Started losing air in the pickup, aired it up and made it to the next town for repair.

Previous truck I had a Viair 450c with two, two and half gallon air tanks. Filled my tires pretty quickly! Currently looking around for other options like: ARB dual, Sherpa, Extreme Air and maybe another Viair. All I need is more money!!

Not uncommon for 5W tires that take 80 PSI, I know mine call for that. Guy next to me said his takes 110 but I didn’t verify it .
My 5th wheel tires are 110 psi! I need a decent compressor to fill them up too!
