New to me coach. Was told no air compressor hookup but air fitting in the front compartment by generator. Does my rv have a compressed air hookup and can you use it to air your tires? Thanks

That is most likely a way to air up the tanks if the vehicle needs to be towed.

With the correct fittings you could use it to supply air to "things". Airing up a tire would take some time.

If it has air brakes it has a compressor. The front air chuck is so a tow truck can charge the brakes to move a dead unit.
Yes you can fill your tires but it will have limits if trying to get over 60 lbs or so unless you can trick the compressor into cycling on longer at the upper psi.
There are a lot of posts and u-tube videos on how to do this.
Basically all it takes is about $15 worth of parts from Harbor Freight to make up a valve and tee to make the compressor cycle.
Maybe someone can post a link.

good luck
