There is a 1/4 pipe plug on the tank
Ours has two I removed the plug and screwed in the air chuck.
It took more time to get the tools out then to install the air chuck
Sorry no pictures.

My coach has a flex hose attached to the tank and runs out to the Onan compartment. So I keep a 25 ft piece of hose for tires etc, in the PS storage compartment. Down side is that it is kinda exposed to the elements and can get sand and grit in the chuck, So I have to clean it out every so often so that the connectors work, I also place a rubber vacuum plug in the chuck hole to keep mud daubers from building nests in the chuck. Sorry, no pics right now.

I installed a 50' air hose on my daughter's 1973 coach; the air tank is up
front on the passenger side The hose is coiled across the front of the
radiator, laying on a divider at the bottom of the grill. I reach thru the
grill to get the hose and use it. Simple set up.

I have had a coiled hose attached to my small compresssor tank for over 25 years through a quick connect fitting. My 77 is located in the cupboard across from the bathroom.
The 25 foot is long enough to reach any tire if the hose is passed through a window.
This is very good for topping up a tire. However it would take a while if your tire is completely flat as the small original compressor would take some time.

how is this for pumping up air bags from the outside of the window, it should work. i think i have a quick connect already on

my pump that i took to John here in my area and he checked out my pump and got 125 psi in about, not long? he stated good as

new. Having compressed air around like this is very interesting for many things. mick, anaheim ca. 77 palm beach,
