So just Iike everyone else and their mother, I've been trying to get my hands on a Maxitrac. Which I guess have been out of stock for a while with no indication that it might be available any time soon. So I did a little more research and I'm leaning towards either Morrflate or EZflate. Any suggestions?

I have a Costco knock off copy of a Viair that has done well but the Moreflate or ARB is on my wish list for sure.

Been doing research and ARB while popular, just seems far more expensive and Less efficient than many air compressors out there. The only advantage I can see going with the ARB Twin comp is that you can use it as an air locker as well

I have a **** trac that I bought just to assess. But I don’t carry it. Too bulky and heavy. I carry a Viair V400. When I’m off road a bunch I carry CO2; faster by far than anything else portable.
I'd be interested in your MaxiTrac if you want to get rid of it

I carry a compressor from a Ram Promaste van. I work on a fleet of Promaster van's and before they get put into service we have to go through the van and remove literally everything from it. The spare tire, jack, a screw in tow hook, owners manual and the air compressor kit it comes with also gets removed. Once removed they are fair game to us employees so we snag them. They work really well. Its got a slime sealer injector but i dont and never will use that stuff20230306_224241.jpg

I carry a Smittybilt compressor, the higher volume model (not the small one). I’ve been using it for a decade. It’s been reliable, and worked well with every vehicle, except one newer Chevy Silverdo work truck where the power draw would make the pickup’s alarm intermittently beep (even running).

+1 on the Smittybilt 2781 Air Compressor. It's pricey, but solid and still not as expensive as an ARB compressor. I've only used it a handful of times, but it's always in my truck's tool box ready to go.

I use a small battery and 12v powered compressor. It's programmable and light and best of all, it was free thanks to the Amazon Vine program.

ViAir. I carry it with the truck when I'm exploring off road and doing overlanding trips.

I've had a Viair 400P for 23 years. It's never let me down.

I have the ViAir RV setup. I happened to catch it on sale years ago and have been pretty happy with it. I'm not great with the plastic wrap hoses but, again, never had any issues with it.

I use a Slime Tire Repair System. The compressor has filled several hundred tires over the last 15 years. Everything from Golf Carts to medium sized Tractor Tires.
