    Tire pressure can be killer for wear and popped tires on the trailer. I'm looking to get a portable air compressor that can be powered by the truck to fill the tires on the trailer on the regular or as emergency.

    Anyone have experience with these? Any thoughts on good brands? The issue I'm concerned about it is the length of cord/air hose not being able to reach from the truck to the trailer tires when hooked up.

    Viair and ARB are the 2 most common. Everyone I know has one of the 2.

    Viair 88p, great little compressor. The only thing is if you have wheels bigger than 33" you'll need more powerful compressor than 88p

    X3 on viair I have one too. Works great, price is very reasonable. Got mine off Amazon. It does struggle a little at higher altitude to get full pressure but still gets the job done.

    My 88p showed up today from Amazon.

    I went with a warehouse deal, said accessories may show signs of use, but it shows as brand new. I'm guessing someone opened it and returned it

    Seems like a good deal for $59 Canadian, shipped.

    I bought the same one. I’m liking it so far. The gauge is accurate and airs up the tires pretty fast.
