I thought the the air nipple in the compartment below the drivers area, could be used to inflate the tires to the required amount needed on the tire that you have installed.
I tried, but could not get the tires inflated to what I wanted. So I stopped at the next truck stop and inflated them.
I check them when cold before we leave the campground to head for the next campground.
Do I need an external tire pump?
Thanks

Yes, you probably need a tire pump. I tried the coach air and it works OK up to 100PSI, but it takes forever to get to 110.

Dave, go to www.dickmantires.com which is Les Schwab in Junction City, Or and view their Air Pressure Booster. It connects to your coach nipple and boost air pressure up to 160 PSI.
I have one and love it. Larry F. is correct the best you'll get from your coach supplemental tank is 100 PSI

I agree. The air pressure booster from Dickman gets your tires to 110 pretty easy, although I've only had to use it a couple of times since installing new Michelins in '10. I bought it when I replaced my Toyos due to age, which lost air often, with Michelins which do not. Just a reminder, check the date code on your tires. My Intrigue is an '06 and my Toyos were manufactured in '03. I wasn't happy with CC for that one.

I use an air system, which is like a Scuba tank. It is filled with CO2 and used to top off tires and lasts me for a couple seasons. It has a regulator which is set to 150 lbs tops our tires to 120 very quick. You can weigh the tank with a fish scale to know how much remains and when ready take it to beer fill or fire extinguisher facility and have it done in minutes for $20. I use coach air to fill to about 110 and top with the bottle. Almost always it is a topping issue.

Dave,
You can use the air nipple to inflate your tires to 110 lbs fairly quickly by running the engine to keep the on-board compressor running, I have an in-line gauge in my air hose so that I can see when the compressor reaches max pressure and then I air up the tires without any problem by monitoring the incoming air pressure. I run 110 lbs in front tires and 100 lbs in rear tires per the actual weight of my rig.
