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. ...

I plan 250-300 miles for our long trips. Sometimes we have to go further because of the circumstances. With dogs and my speed limit of around 62, that’s a good 6 hour day.

On short trips, we can...

Velcro?

Didn't think of it. Will try it when I get back home from this trip.
So far on this trip, no issues with screws.

The boards I used did not have enough material to attach them to the slide and not break when moved. I think if you used a larger piece of wood and made it thicker at the edge it would possibly...

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.

Took a while to consider... Why not a piece...
