The problem is - I have a portable compressor (the kind that connects to tow vehicle battery) - and that one does not really accept different chucks etc. Also, how is a long chuck going to help me if I have to air my tires at a gas station while traveling? Unless I am not understanding something here...(there might be a language barrier, I live in the States but am not American by birth so not sure if I understand what a "chuck" is). Thanks.

I call the piece that attaches to end of hose, locks on valve stem the "Chuck"
Now as for the "not really accept". I have that kind of compressor in pickup and DW's car. But mine where made by man, not created by a god. When I tested both would pop off as soon as I let go of it. Man made it, I paid for it, so I have no issues changing it. (I don't use a quick-couple, only because I only use for tires. I want the chuck to be on hose so don't want to look for it.
As for air at gas stations; In the area you travel will the station compressor work when you need it? And if it works, will it put out enough pressure to air your tires? And do it without overheating/shutting down? (I have tried to use them on bicycle tires. Success was limited to the point I carry a hand pump now). If your tire takes 50PSI and pump maxis out at 60, it will take a long time to inflate tire. Plus the issue, you drove to station on under-inflated tire, so no longer cold. What pressure you set it to?

Thank you for taking the time to explain. I am a fluent English speaker but sometimes uncertain of "technical" terms :)

When hauling my truck camper on the flatbed (and I always have the horse trailer in tow with the camper since we camp with our horses only) - my rears are at max pressure - 80psi - I am almost at GVWR for my vehicle fully loaded/hooked up. As you suggest - I think what I am going to do is get a proper portable compressor to take with us - one that accepts different chucks :).

Thank you!
