I've been carrying an air compressor (don't remember what size the air tank is off hand) for over two years now. In fact, carried it with me when we went on our coast to coast trip in early 2014. Only needed it twice in all this time, both on the trip out west. Once in Death Valley, I needed to add about 4 pounds to a trailer tire, and once in the Mohave Desert at a BLM off road recreation area to air up the rear tires of a guy who worked in the film, TV, commercial business of supplying animals. His rear wheels of his ATV were flat.

Soon, I will have my newer trailer, a 2014 Arctic Fox 25r. The first thing I do will be to take it to Discount Tire and remove the GYM's and put on LRE Maxxis 8008's.
My old trailer ran 14" LRC tires inflated to 50psi max. Even getting those up to pressure was sometimes difficult if I had to air up on the road using lousy gas station air. They held pressure very well, but once or twice I needed to bring them up a few lbs.
Now, these new LRE's run at 80psi. I reckon truck stop compressors will do the job but like gas stations, they're not always easily accessible. Do any of y'all use 12v tankless compressors when you're afield? If so, I'd like a recommendation for a good one. IF, that is you think it necessary.
Thanks,
