portable tire inflators

I bought a Slime Heavy Duty at Autozone. Nice to have the built-in gauge.

I carry one similar to this and run it off a 400 Watt inverter.

What size tires and max psi? If you have D rated tires, you can get by with a much smaller compressor than I can with my G rated tires at 110psi.

This looks just like my old Campbell Hausfeld version. Works on my 110 psi tires and I use a power converter if needed on the road. Lighter and easier to store than big tank versions.

I've gotten by with a bicycle pump for 12 years. :)

For me the Q Industries MV50 Portable 12VDC Portable Tankless Air Compressors (AMAZON) works just fine. I can air-up my trailer and truck tires and also use it for blowing out my water lines in the trailer when the temps drop below freezing...

I have used this model from way back in my Jeep/tent camping days.. Stores easy in its own carry bag and fits under my truck back seat area. I can sit this on my dropped tail gate of the truck and connect directly into the trailer battery bank terminal. The long hose reaches everything from this spot.



I use this adapter from AMAZON to connect to the city water port to blow out my water lines in the trailer and then fill the P-TRAPS with RV pink stuff. With the tankless compressor the pressure is slow to build-up which allows to get to the spigots everywhere to drain the water out without fear of over pressure on the lines.


Great small footprint items to have around for my off-road trailer...

I have this one also. Works well but I only use the built-in gauge to get me to the approximate stopping point (just over) before disconnecting and final checking the pressure with a proper digital gauge.

Popeye! :)

Harbor Freight model with long battery leads and 16' hose. I can hook up to TT battery and get to all truck tires and TT tires. It's relatively quiet and quick enough, seems to be pretty well made. Time will tell.
