I’m a bit spooked about tire trouble while on this trip - when we owned the Disastermobile it seemed every outing included limping into a rest area or parking lot and calling roadside service for tire issues.

I know many tire issues are caused by improper inflation - and this quote strikes to the heart of the issue.

85 percent of all tire air pressure losses are the result of slow leaks that occur over a period of hours, days, or months. NHTSA

I’m guilty of it as well - not checking tire pressure as often as I should, even with compressed air available literally three feet in front of the truck when it’s in the garage.  As I started thinking about this trip I had nasty visions of attempting to finagle the truck and trailer combination into gas stations to check the tire pressure.  I had already put on on-board air compressor on my previous Jeep, and knew that decent-quality 12v pumps were now available for under $100, so set out to outfit our tow vehicle with a similar setup.
