Hi Anyone
I have a 2007 Country Couch Tribute with brand new Michelin Tires. We have been sitting in a KOA for the past 6 weeks and have found that our left rear inside tire is losing air pressure (should be 95# but has lost 10# in the last week. I can take it to a repair facility but need to get air in the tire before leaving. It requires a heavy duty compressor which of course I don't have but can I use the compressed air in the coach. I know there is an air compressor fitting down below but am not sure if I can use it for the purpose of filling a tire. Any ideas?

If you can connect an air line to your coach air system you can inflate your tire. You shouldn't encounter any problems. Just make sure there are no leaks at the connection point when you are done.

You could check to be sure air is not leaking out at the air valve stem. A little spit over the opening will do it. Look for slow formation of a bubble. If yes, you need to tighten the core. Also get under and run you hand over all the tread surface you can, might find a nail head.

Yes, good idea there to check to make sure the valve stems a are tight. I've had one let me down before, literally.ðŸ˜

You can run on a deflated duel at 25 mph and limp in to a tire repair if you do not have an air hose or one that is long enough. I once limped in over 45 miles without causing any damage to the rig. 10# is not a problem just go slow.

On the Tribute 260, under the drivers feet, behind and below the left headlight, are air valves that you can drain water from. You can also connect a fitting for an air hose there on any of them and have air pressure for adjusting your tire pressure. It will likely be slow as your tire pressure is close to the limit of the air compressor there.

Hi,
You could use your built-in air compressor, but there are certain constraints due to the normal cycling of the air compressor . To see how to use your built-in compressor to inflate your tires, refer to the following video on Youtube :http://thervgeeks.com/maintenance/inflating-high-pressure-rv-tires/

He is correct. You can limp along slowly. Going too fast with a low tire will cause heat and eventually the tire will come apart. Be disciplined and go slow and you should be fine. 10MPH or less.
