Well ****...that will probably be your best bet. Let me see what I can come up with.
Also, what I learned from compressor searching was buy one that has 100% duty cycle. You won't really need a super duty one, and I know a few guys that hard wired a Harbor Freight $30 compressor up to a switch and it does fine, however they don't haul or tow.
That's the main reason why I haven't spent the extra money since I have a garage compressor. But if I were out some where and lost psi, I would be screwed. But I may get a cheap compressor or nice bike pump for the time being.

Ebay has a dual digital one. I havn't looked to find it cheaper but $99 is the ebay price.

I like the idea that I don't have more air lines and fittings to possibly leak. You mount the sensor out back near the bag and run wire. I don't love the price but I will save up my money and buy a digital one with sending units before saving some cash and have exta air line and fittings.(I know it is only one extra fitting per gage side.)

In my opinion a needle is much better then digital but like I said I like the idea of the sending unit is best for me.

Have you ever seen a wideband? The ebay one looks just like a wideband. Sorry it is "ricer as ****". Certainly entitled to your opinion but your comment doesn't make much sence.

Not trying to argue with you...but I voiced my opinion. If I were buying digital, it would be something like this
Dakota Digital Round Air Pressure
