Keep in mind that the 12v lighter socket and the trailer plug are both designed for low current applications. The wiring is going to be light, and pulling a lot of current through it is not a great idea. My experience with a variety of lighter socket type compressors is that they are very slow, and tend to heat up a great deal after just one tire. Perhaps they are made better these days, but even an inexpensive unit that takes power with heavy leads right off the battery is a world better.
True story- even a lot of the compressors with terminal clamps, those wires get warm..

Dirt lifestyle on YouTube just did a video a month or so ago about upgrades to portable air compressors that hits this issue and a couple others. ??? I thought it was pretty good!
