I have a truck camper so I do not have a lot of space. I certainly don't want a big compressor that is likely to be used only once or twice a year.
So far I have gotten by with a small Slime brand compressor that looks similar but is smaller than the one shown from Harbor Freight. I forget the specs but it will pump a tire up over 100 psi....given enough time. If it finally dies, I can get a replacement at Walmart. So far after 10 years of use, the only issue is the inaccurate pressure gauge and the relatively low output.
My Slime unit is powered though the cigarette lighter and I don't need to worry about connecting to the battery or having enough wire to reach from the battery to the back tires. I have a 12v socket that is much closer to the rear tires.
