12V Portable air compressor
Im looking to add a 12V air compressor to my list of things we carry when we camp in our trailer. There are SOOOO many of them on the market I figured I would ask here what brand or model you guys are...

150 psi compressor from Harbor Freight. Had it 2 years, works well so far.
I bought one of theirs last year. Went to use it for the first time a few days ago and it wouldn't pump, at least to the 80 psi I needed in our truck and it's *supposed* to do over 200 psi. Not sure if HF has different models? It was in their discount tent outside for cheap - maybe that's the mistake I made.
Since you may really need to count on the compressor one day, I would want to know it's going to work properly. I'm going to find a new one and am interested in hearing what the good ones are. Sounds like Viair would be good.
Yeah, I worry about that periodically. I'm not a big fan of Harbor Freight for the most part. But it seemed pretty well made and the gauge is accurate. I would rather have a V-air, but this was there when I needed it.. So, we'll see.
I also like the fact that I can hook up to the battery and reach all tires on the camper and truck with no problem.
