I have one and it works great. A little slow if you’re inflating a big tire (like the truck’s) but compact and light. Plus uses same batteries as the drill I use for raising/lowering jacks.

We're retired and thus always on vacation. So when I plan our trips I use a 250-300 mile a day limit. That's about 6 hours. If we really need to get some place in a day, of course we can go farther. ...

Velcro?

So far on this trip, no issues with screws.

UPDATE with a better solution

I wasn't quite happy with the previous solution. It was not finished enough and left the edge of the slideout floor exposed to tripping or damage.
