Get the kit that comes stock with all Zs. It's light and very portable. It sits in the passenger-side cove really nice. (Stock location for it)

If the side wall popped loose then you would be screwed with the small 12v compressors.

If not, then it's just a matter of taking a nap until it fills. The 12v compressors won't win a prize for speed.
