I am using this Craftsman and it works like a champ. You can get it cheaper at Kmart usually around 80 bucks

nessmuk, Howdy;

Bought one of these last year.
http://www.dewalt.com/tools/compress...ic-d55140.aspx
Keeps the F-250's tires up as well as the rv's.
Fits nicely in the front storage area of my 5'er.

i bought a small compressor , from harbor freight, that would run from the cig lighter - slow and the hose couldn't even reach the back tires of the truck. didn't want to buy anything bigger or more expensive than $20 - it's for a 24 ft tt tires mainly.

I bought this little unit from Lowes for $50. Runs on 110 or 12 volt. So far, it has worked great.

I am looking for a small compact to mount in my FZ371, are there any updates on a good one? I dont care about $, just need it to at least be able to top off my G rated 110 psi trailer tires.

I tried the 12 volt route but it took hours to infalte a tire. Went to Harbor Frgt and found one for $40 that was small light and works great for me.

Check out the Superflow MV50. Runs on 12 volt (truck or TT battery). High volume and you can use it on the road. $79 at O'reilly's auto parts. 3 year exchange warranty.

B&D, AC/DC Model ASI300, set the pressure and unit inflates to that pressure. Works good on both AC/DC application. Target for $49.95, has two year warranty. Always take it with me!

I have two MV50s and, although they were okay at first, I did have some problems with them after a while. The battery clamp crimps failed and the plastic hoses became brittle and broke. They were fairly easy to repair, but I don't fully trust them now.

This is what I bought and have used, it has held up well and fits easily in my trailer storage. http://www.cpoworkshop.com/porter-ca...34-157153877-2

If you're looking for a commercial quality, quiet, portable 110V compressor, take a look at the Rolair JC10. It'll handle 80psi just fine, but might not work with 110psi tires.

I agree with having 12v or 'on the road' capability. Having a compressor and plug kit on the road can really save time. You also need enough hose to get to the tires. I have fixed more problems with the tires still on the truck/trailer than off.

DeWalt 2-gal 110v Compressor

I went with the DeWalt 110v 2 gal (2 horizontal bottles); and it works just fine. It has the capacity to air up all my tires on TV and TT; and it is compact and lightweight.

I purchased it at Lowes.
