That's the one good plus about the air bag systems in my opinion too!
The onboard air compressor!

There's also the 120 volt compressors you can buy at places like Costco. I have one of those and took it on our recent trip into Colorado and Utah. I have a little quiet Honda 1000 Watt generator that powers it just fine and, of course, charges the batteries if we're "boondocking".

Glad your truck pulled the trailer, TXWolf! I was kind of thinking of you during our trip. I seem to recall our TFT being up in the 215 region a couple of times (long uphill climbs at 65 mph).

Be very careful about exceeding 65 mph with a trailer. Trailer tires are rated at 65 and if you drive faster than that, they can fail - it certainly shortens their life. I had a pair fail after about 5000 miles (chord separation). Same goes for pressure in those tires. Keep them at the recommended pressure, and check them before any day of towing.
