Add an air compressor?

Any ideas on how to add an air compressor to one of these PSDs. It can really be handy out in the desert....not to mention the train horn temptation.

Thanks!
I have a spreadsheet with all the parts, vendors, phone numbers, costs, etc. if anyone is interested. This can be easliy fitted for air bags as well, but I don't have them, yet.
There are some components on the spreadsheet you may not need, etc. powdercoating, etc.

Your setup is great! I would sure like to get your parts listing and any lessons learned now that you have done it. Where did you mount it? How do you have access to it? Love those horns, but I'm not sure they're big enough.

Commercial 120V compressors sell as low, as $79.
Having 2 batteries already for another $150 you can have 2500W inverter, that will not only power the compressor, but microwave and big screen as well.
