Yes, I understand where you are coming from.
Perhaps if my truck was only $50k I wouldn’t be looking as much for avenues to cut costs in this process. [emoji1] But as a rookie Superduty owner ( and hopefully future fifth wheel owner) I’m looking for input on just about everything. This forum has really been extremely helpful and I still have a lot to learn. But based on posts here I will probably shy away from HF for air products— probably leaning to Viaair, so I guess I’ll try to cut corners elsewhere.

I have a Craftsman Evolve pancake air compressor that I hauled around for a long time. It's basically a harbor freight quality rebranded as Craftsman. I fix broken campers and took it with me to North Carolina to pick up a flip. I must have worked on filling the low tires for an hour easily. It just couldn't keep up. I have since switched to a harbor freight Viair style compressor that works very well and takes up virtually no space.
I will say this, Harbor Freight is the closest store to where I live, maybe a mile and a half, so I'm not afraid to buy and return if the quality isn't what I expected (but really when is it!)

The Viair compressors are OK up to about 65#. I don't like the twist on chuck as it is a true pain to use. They are reasonably durable but keep an allen key around to tighten any allen screw that may try to back out.
If you are trying to air up 85# tires on the TV it becomes a little slow but better than most 12 volt compressors. The other problem is that if you airing up 4 on you trailer and 2 on the TV the compressor is probably about to exceed its limit without cooling off for awhile. It will be quite warm.Foard County News & Sassy Schoolmarm

That all depends on which Viair unit you are referring to. I got the constant duty with an on board tank, https://www.amazon.com/VIAIR-Constan.../dp/B000YC42RG 80# tires no problem truck and trailer tires no problem. I air down on the beach and it is not uncommon for my Viair to air my 4, boat trailer 2 and 1 or 2 buddies trucks all at the same time. Runs an impact great too. It was spendy but worth it to me. Someday I'll get the train horns.
