I carry a small CO2 tank with regulator and hose takes less room than a compressor that takes forever to get to the higher PSI's and I am able to get the 110 psi with no problem, only use it on the road if I need to adjust tire pressure . I made my own set up but take a look at Power Tank brand you will get the idea. Off road guys use these tanks to air their tires back up after rock climbing or running off road
No need to put on "airs" - go CO2 !!
Congrats on an xlnt and simple solution to the various 12V and/or 110V compressors!..:C
Ditto on making your own (easy!) and new aluminum CO2 tanks are available at reasonable prices from beverage companies.
Re-fill at any home brew stores, paint ball, and of course welding supply.
Carry one in my truck, one in the trailer.
(Yeah - several compressors at home)
Off-roaders have been using 'em for years - air down for off-road, then re-inflate via CO2 to higher pressure for the asphalt.
The sources for the regulator (etc.) are avail on lots of off-road sites.
Carry one for (in) my truck, one for (in) the trailer.
"Power Tank" is a good place to look at what is available - the how, why, uses, etc. (But they *are* pricey if purchased from them)...;)
BTW - to the newbie poster who says he will stop here and there & slip somebody $5. to check his air pressure........
Spend the $5. on a gauge, check it yourself whenever you stop....
and better yet get a TPMS and read air pressure going down the road, as well as being alerted to a tire losing air *BEFORE* you stop for your ap checks!
Flats and/or a blowout can/will ruin your day!
