I want the extra power an capacity a 150PSI air compressor gives you when filling up tires. So I purchased a Dewalt 6 gallon pancake air compressor when this was on sale at a home improvement center. I carry this in the forward basement compartment along with my other tools for my trailer. I also have a 30' air hose so I can plug the air compressor in anywhere near the trailer and air up the tires on both the trailer and truck.

I purchased the Harbor Freight 12V 150PSI portable high volume air compressor and its not really up to task, no way can it reach 150PSI it can barely go to 80PSI and it takes forever.

Don't buy this one:12Volt 150 PSI Compact Air Compressor

I just purchased the VIAIR-400P-Automatic-Function-Portable-Compressor from eBay for $120 new hopefully it's better the reviews seem to be solid. Ebay price was also darn good they are usually $219-239, now I wait for it to arrive.
