Air Connection
While rummaging around in the generator compartment I noticed this air outlet with shut-off. What is this for and can I connect a hose to it as an air supply to inflate my tires?

I have done this several times but on my coach, I need to have my wife press on the accelerator slightly to get my tires over 100 psi.

This is good to know. I was thinking about a small air compressor but have not been able to find one small enough to fit in our limited basement area that will get the tires up to their 110 psi recommended pressure. How do others top-up their tires other than at a service station?

I have a small 120 VAC air compressor I keep in the basement, but that was before I installed a decent 12 VDC air compressor. I may tee a quick-disconnect to it, now it has decent volume and durability.
