I know others use the air bag compressor for inflating tires and the like.
Suggestions? Do’s and don’ts?
I was going to add an air chuck to the drain.
Thanks

I keep needing to try to run an impact wrench, to see how well it does.. but I think I need to buy a good impact wrench, as mine even struggles to remove stubborn things on my big home compressor.
But I use the air supply plenty to deal with the tires(air down to get un-stuck, and back up when I am out of the mud). usually my coach sits with an air hose hanging out, and it is regularly used to inflate pool toys. I use the central vacuum to de-flate pool toys.
I do plan on figuring some better air hose winder, and what I have now is a coily hose that gets tangled up when it is stored.
I have seen some people say you can get by with less then 100% duty cycle air compressor, but I would argue that you want 100% duty cycle, because there are situations you can really put that compressor in for a work out, filling up a tire to 65 psi, or a large pool toy.

ah,
Dolph, depends on your coach. My 75 has a tank up in the front drivers corner(as well as that is where the viair is mounted), I just installed a T fitting, and I also have an air guage and air line fitting there. I don't think I would install a fitting on the drain, I would be more apt to install a T fitting somewhere.
On mine, it is on my list of To-Do's is to move my isolator valve off the air bag itself, and make a mount in the wheel wells with T and air fitting. That way I can just use a short hose to air up the rear tires. currently my setup has the air fitting at the driver side front, so I can reach the front tires easy enough, and the driver side rear. but for the passenger rear, I have to grab a second hose and hook them together.

Jon get an Ingersol Rand with the dial on the back. It will take anything off.
Using the coach air means a little waiting for the comp to catch up, but meh, it's worth it.
I also use the double ended male to connect an air hose.
I also put a fitting on the rear bumper that I use to connect shop air to the coach, it only uses 1/4" line so I doubt that one would run an impact lol

My PO added a manifold up under the hood:

It works well. I put together a double ended (male) connector with a check valve in the middle so I can hook up my garage compressor to it easily.

Or buy the new Milwaukee 1/2” 18 volt impact. I have sheared a 1/2” grade 5
or better suspension bolt while testing their claims of 1400lbs of
loosening torque and 1200 lbs tightening. The air impact never comes out of
the box anymore.
