Hi Dick,

I think on previous posts you have a 1998 Intrigue?? If you look under the front left compartment you will see three air valves. Two valves are remotes to manually drain your air tanks, the third valve has a connection for an air hose. On my '98 it was a male fitting, and I think it was the middle valve....it will be obvious once you look under there.

Thanks. Yes, it's a '98. I'll check this coming week (it's now locked up in a storage yard). Assuming that it does have the connection, how would I use it? What is the source of air? Does the engine need to be running to use it? Any disadvantages vs using a self-contained pancake type air compressor? The advantage is obvious ... no need to carry a separate compressor.

I understood that the two connections are for Primary and Secondary air tanks, amd the third is the actually the Aux air tank that feeds the primary and secondary. The third one squirted out some water condensation - when I demonstrated the three values which were never bled my him during his ownership of the coach!!!

Look at the second album in this gourp's photo database for the air line installation recommended by CC -- they even provided the parts for me, or check my web site http://www.suncitykid.com/allureair/ (http://www.suncitykid.com/allureair/) (but I added a cutoff valve to be doubly sure).
