I installed an all weather 12 volt outlet on the frame just in front of the wheels on both side of TT. I have a 12 volt air compressor that does just fine filling the tires. The outlets can also be used for other 12 volt appliances.

Just picked up the Campbell Hausfeld air compressor that is cordless, rechargeable from Home Depot for $39.95. Was the same price at Wally World. Very small and works good. Raised TT from 57 to 65 in about 6 minutes. Slow but better than carting the large tank from the other compressor to the TT.

I use a small 12v air pump plugged into a 12v emergency battery used for jump-starting. Takes time, but works! I think it's rated for 80psi, eventually ;-)
