air compressor for TT tires

Thinking of buying an air compressor to inflate bike and vehicle tires and to avoid towing the TT down to the gas station to properly inflate its tires. What size and type of compressor would fit the bill?

    Yep 35 to 40 bucks, does my tires on truck, trailer, bikes and runs my finish nail gun and brad nail gun just fine

  • I have a small basic 12volt unit that plugs into the plug in the the TV. 50psi fot the TT and 40psi for the TV. Nothing fancy--got it at walmart. Works for me.
  • That really depends on tire size. I have G rated tires (110psi) on my 5er so I need a 110v compressor. Smaller tires may get by with a 12v compressor.
