tire inflators - what do you use?

[TravelTiger]

What do you use to inflate your tires?

With the NT, we had a Black & Decker portable cordless tire inflator, which worked great for the 50PSI tires. Now with the ER, we need something more 'beefy' to inflate to 80 PSI. Any suggestions?

Time for a compressor

I found a 150 psi Porter Cable pancake compressor for a decent price at a Menards. I keep it in the trailer basement, always handy so I check the tires before every trip.

I used a 12V small compressor with 140PSI capacity for the last 13 years. It finally burned up this winter. Will be replacing it with a heavier duty one, there are some at Wally World capable to inflate to 160PSI.

I use a Viair compressor with a small tank that is mounted in my tool box. It has a tee on the top for the air hose to plug into to air up the tires.

I use a Makita 3-gallon compressor that runs my brad and pin nailers. Goes to 120 psi, so it takes a little finessing to get the tires up to 110 psi, but it does the job. I check the tires before hauling the BH up to the seasonal site with it and then take it along to the rig when we plan to return it home.

Unless you want to drive nails or operate air tools, I found this compressor to be a heavy duty--relatively fast--unit that runs my tires up to 110psi with no problems.

You may find it cheaper on the web, but I think I had some sort of coupon that reduced the price a bit.

I have used Sears Air compressor for 5 years. Its takes up very little room and has a 150 psi. I have to have at least 150 pse to air up our G114' which require 125 lbs. From time to time Sears brings this model back cost was $99.00 but I'm sure its up some. I recomend the Sears Compressor. GBY.......

I have the same compressor and also keep it in the basement. Love it.

That's the one I have... use it on the 5er (80psi) and the pickup (65psi).
