As for airing up, on board compressor is a WAST of $$$, I bought a Hand Held Ryobi air compressor it take 10 seconds to pump up to max. This thing is also capable of filling your 5er tires above 100psi so nice small gadget to have for other thing like rafts and floats also.
Note: I also have a Vi Air compressor however it is a pain to get out and connect just for air bags.

When i went on my first i went to 26 places. So you air up than get to your first camp ground and air down to drive around. Then you hook up again and air up. Then you get to the next spot and do it all over again. If you just camp and head to the lake and never air down to drive around than your air compressor is fine. If you travel like some of us do than that thing you got is a pain. Another thing is that compressor will not be of much use to air up a tire. Just look at how small the piston in there is. Then how many puffs of air do you think it will take to air up a tire. The higher the pressure the smaller the puffs of air is. I have tried to air up a tire and it took forever. Not to mention how mad it makes the guy camping next to you to listen to that thing pump air. In a emergency this may be ok I still carry my air compressor but its still under the seat. Mine has a 12 volt and a 110 volt cords.
