Inspire how to?

Yahoo Message Number: 11979
Is there an Inspire owner out there who has successfully figured out how to use the on board air compressor to inflate tires? What is the set of correct fixtures, hoses, etc that need to be purchased? There appear to be three possible places to hook up to the compressor near the front of the coach...is one better than the other? Is there a procedure that has to be followed to get it to work? Thanks for any help you can provide.

Tony,

It is difficult to inflate tires from any motorhome compressor unless you have a Newel or a few other buses. Once you get above 90 pounds of pressure it takes forever. It is easier to buy a compressor or find some truck stop that has a good compressor. Keeping your tires up is not easy when you need air. There are some tricks you can use but they are not worth the time it takes to go to 110 or 120 pounds.

Tony,

Remember the 3 valves to drain water from brake tanks? The valve closest to curb is correct valve to source air. Look under left front corner. On front of electric box that contains you windshield washer tank, you will find three quarter turn valves. As you face valves, use left most valve for tire air.
The valve is supposed to drain water from main air tank. All air from this valve should be dry is you air dryer is OK.

This info per 2 people in CC.

My gages indicate 130 PSIG normal brake pressure. 130 is enough to fill my front tires to 110 PSI.
