We are going to change the Air Compressor

What have some of you put in? Specifically need to know

the CFM rating @ 0 pressure
and
CFM rating as pressure (psi) goes up.

CFM specs?

At minimal, the brand some of you put in and what lead you to this brand vs. another...We can check specs.

Thanks in Advance!

****edited to make our query more meaningful****

We are looking for MORE, quicker fill of reserve air, if I need to make this question more clear. Mark wants the ability to run other equipment from this compressor other than only filling the air bags. We are looking into means of a larger tank.

Mark has looked at Phoenix (US made) and Viair (he couldn't remember origin) and another tank made in Turkey...
We want CFM, and PSI. So far the largest CFM on a 12 volt available is 2.5 CFM...

Right now we either have to rebuild the old compressor, Mark do a McGyver to a faster CFM compressor he has at the shop, OR we get a new one and add additional reserve air in a imaginative way.

We need to replace the compressor and looking for the best in recovery and most practical for the airbag and additional uses. Why have a "mobile" "built-in" compressor sitting on a motorhome that only will fill an airbag?
