Does anyone carry a portable air compressor for the purpose of putting air in your tires?

I carry two. A 12v for emergency. It takes a LONG time to put much air in, but would do in an emergency.
Also bought a 3 gal 120 vac pancake compressor from Harbor Freight for when I have AC power available (I do not have a generator).

Yes, it is a cheap one from WM, $25, plugs in a lighter. . It is mostly for the bike tires, but I have used it to top off the fiver tires.

Never had to use it, but sure like the fact it's there. Too many flats in the old days to not pay attention...

Yes 2 of them a 120 volt type that lives in the basement and a 12 volt type that lives in the truck tool box. Have never needed either one yet but I was able to help out a fellow camper once with them.

I have a Craftsmen 125psi 110volt tank compressor and it would not air up our G614 tires to 110psi without a lot of work - having to pull the bleed to shart the compressor again and let it recycle.....very very slow.
I just ordered, after lots of reading on others forums, I ordered a Viar 400p RV 12volt compressor. I have heard that it will air up the g614 with no problem plus I really wanted 12volt. I used a 12volt Campbell Hausfeld portable compressor on our old trailer tires. It would do the job just fine on 80psi tires. Good luck. Phillip
