Default Portable Air Compressor

Does anyone have a good recommendation for a portable 12v air compressor. I had purchased a Masterflow Tsunamai 1050 from Pep Boys but had two different reliability issues in the first two trips therefore it's not dependable enough to rely on.

I often need to take my TV tires down to 30-40lbs (for sand or off-road) and need to pump them back up to 65-70 to tow when I am leaving a camping area. The Tsunamai did an adequate job.... when it worked.

Anybody have any experience with other manufacturers?

thanks

There are several discussions in the Tires forum, including your own at

http://www.trailmanorowners.com/foru...ad.php?t=11805

As noted in this thread, there are earlier ones. Just do a Simple Search on "compressor", and scroll down the list of hits to the ones in the Tires forum.

I have been using an older model of this Slime air compressor for the last 5 seasons with good results:

If I was to replace it now, I would probably get this Slime model:

I posted this a couple years ago:
