Hi Jon,

For a long time I used a Schrader valve right on the bags to bring my 78 Royale to correct ride height. Later I put a braided air hose directly in the bag with the Schrader valve on the other end which I attached to the T skirts to make it easier to fill. Over time that seemingly high quality braided air hose began to leak. I wound up installing the wireless air controller and found that to be a far better answer than anything to do with manually inflating/deflating Schrader valves. That set up worked so well on the Royale that I did the same thing on the 77 Clasco. Same outstanding result.

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.
