Provided for convenience is a remote air supply coupler. This is

located in the roadside LP gas compartment. This universal female fit-
ting will accept several types of 1/4” ID male air fittings, including
type C automotive. This auxiliary air fitting may be used to inflate

tires, air mattresses or other pneumatic items. 

To use this feature: 

• Remove the plastic protective dust cap.
• Using a firm grip, insert the air fitting into auxiliary
air supply. The locking collar is spring loaded and will
lock automatically when the fitting is properly insert-
ed.

To remove fitting:

• With firm grip hold air hose near fitting to prevent recoil.
• Slide the  locking collar back to release fitting. The collar will

lock into the open position when fully retracted.    

• Replace protective dust cap when finished.  

This fitting is not designed to charge the air system on the motorhome. The air sup-

ply for the auxiliary air fitting is charged from the front air tank through a pressure
protection valve. Due to the small air pressure restriction of the pressure protection
valve, maximum supply pressure is approximately 95 psi with air system on the
motorhome charged to 120 psi.  

The air system on the motorhome can be charged from an external air

supply source. Located in the roadside electrical compartment is a type C

automotive male fitting. Caution should be used when charging the air
system from this fitting. The air supplied from an external source may
contain moisture. Compressed air introduced into the air system on the
motorhome from this fitting is not filtered by the air dryer. The auxiliary
air charge fitting will charge the front and rear air tanks. A check valve is
installed to prevent backflow of compressed air from escaping.

CAUTION: The external air supply source should be

regulated to charge the air system on the motorhome

no higher than 120 psi. Damage to the air system or

pneumatically operated items may occur
