I hauled a portable gas powered air compressor in the back of my truck for a long time to meet the need of airing up a low trailer tire and/or changing a flat with an air wrench. I replaced the compressor, air wrench and air hose with the following.

VIAIR portable 12 volt air compressor. 4P-Automatic Portable Compressor | VIAIR. So far has served me well and aired up low tires on already loaded trailer. 70 psi no problem. Works on tractor tires as well.

Switched to a battery powered wrench as well.

If you pull trailers often you know you run across under inflated tires frequently. This helps in a pinch.

VIAIR makes great compressors. I've had the 450-RV model for two years now and it does an amazing job. 100% duty cycle and can be run 40 minutes before resting. I bought it because when towing I like to keep tires aired up to spec and that little thing has never let me down. A lot more money than most of the China made compressors available right now, but the way it's made I imagine it'll still be airing up tires long after I'm gone.

Interesting. How much does it cost?

My wife recently purchased a new car.
No spare but a can of 'fix a flat' and a portable compressor.
Fortunately there was also a card for roadside assistance, (never used to date).
I have her compressor!
