Does anyone have a recommendation on a portable air compressor that will actually pump a tire up to 80lb and not overheat or blow a fuse? We would like to buy one to take on trips with us.

Thanks!

I just bought the cheap one at walmart.  I've had it for years and have never had a problem with it.  It does take a while to get my trailer tires back up to 80 but it gets there.

I Bought a Campbell Hausfield from Wally world that had an automatic shut off.  I preset the pressure I want and when it reach's pressure it automatically shuts off.  This is very handy.

Thanks everyone. We bought one of the Wal Mart deals that had a decent rating on Amazon. If it stinks, I'll take it back and order the one you sent Gard. Any other suggestions are definitely welcome.
