Air Compressor connection and air horns

[ryananddavina]

OK so trying to figure all this stuff out with our first rv. 2003 Gulfstream Friendship 8408. Wondering if we have a connection to the air compressor some where to inflate tires, ikes etc? Anyone know where it may be? Also trying to get the air horns to work - is there a special switch for city or hwy to make these work?

On mine, under the hood is a little manifold, about 2" square, with a plastic air line running to it, with the air system empty, pull a plug and insert your air coupler of choice. usually a switch on the dash for electric horns or both

Our Friendship 7 has air/water/electric/tv connections available in the right front compartment. The onboard compressor doesn't work very well to inflate the my tires as it doesn't kick in until well below the pressure you need in the tires. I carry a small 6 gal 150 psi pancake compressor in that same compartment.
Enjoy your new toy!

I have looked all around the front and the generator and cannot find anything. I know there has to put a port somewhere..

Nothing in the right front compartment, just behind the entry steps?

Mine has a block in the front next to the firewall where you can take a plug out and attach a quick disconnect coupler. I personally do not use it, but there is where my coach has the block with places to attach a air hose. The block on mine is about 4x6 inches in size.

For filling bicycle tires I have a small air compressor I bought at Walmart. Plug it into the toad cigar lighter and that is all I need. Now for the coach I have at home in my garage a big compressor that will fill up the tires if needed with ease. Got that at Home Depot.

Nothing in the front right compartment other than tv coax and power outlet. Gonna look closer near the steps tonight but I am pretty sure nothing. I do have that distribution block that Ray mentioned in the front above the generator so I may just add it there if needed.

The other problem that I have to figure out is why when I am leveled and slide are out if I start the engine all the jacks retract. Pain in the X$$!. So something is not right somewhere :)

mine is under the hood/grill on the front of motorhome

it has a 'T' type manifold connected to the compressor tank - one branch of the 'T' goes to the horns and the other has a quick connector

however, like someone said above, the tank is small and it would take forever to inflate a tire

Our hook up is under the hood but on the drivers side of the RV, Not anywhere by the steps. I use ours all the time to inflate the tires, it takes a little longer but it works well. We have a toggle switch on the dash to switch between puny horn and Air Horn, Wish we had Train Horns :mrgreen:
We have an 03 Yellowstone

Could someone post of picture of theirs that is under the hood? Just so I know kinda where to look at?
