Air Bag Air compressor?

Got ours from Sears few years back. Gauge says it will go up to 100#, but really have only used it to fill air bag up on hitch (has looooong 12v cord). As for plugging into rear 7-way, Cabelas sold a device that plugged into the 7-way and offered different kinds of plugs in. Not sure if they still have it or even avail online anywheres.

That would be handy RD.

I use an elcheapo one that I got at Wally World.

Lots of 12 volt compressors will do the job. I made it easy on myself. The lighter plug would not work part of the time and it was a problem winding up the power cord all the time.
I cut off the lighter plug and left a 3 foot cord and put a 7 pin RV plug on it and wired to the 12 terminal and ground. I plug it in on the back bumper pump and done.
My rear plug is hot all the time other trucks may be switched.

I went with a Viair 400RV. It is pricey at over $200 but comes in a canvas tote, has two 30 ft coiled hoses, and assorted tips. It will fill a flat trailer tire to 80 psi in about five minutes. If I am going to carry a compressor then I want it to supply all my air needs. BTW max pressure is 150 psi I believe but I only need 80 psi for my 5ver and TV so it works for all my stuff within 60 ft of my TV batteries.

X2. A bit much for just filling airbags but it will work as hard as a small 110 volt unit when you are away from shore power, if that's what you need.

Just about any 12v compressor should be sufficient if only used on the airbags. They do not require much air to fill.
I initially used a bike pump in my old truck to inflate the bags and could get them to 40(ish) PSI with ease.

I have a cheap one from Home Depot. It is only capable of producing about 45 pounds of air though. That was plenty for the bags on my F250 - I only used about 25 psi.

There are tons of them on Amazon for less than $50 and good reviews. Go there and do a search for 12 volt air compressors.
