Where is (is there) an air jack on my Berk?
Hi folks,
I have a 2008 Berkshire 390QS and I've seen folks talking about an air jack (port) on their rig which is really an air inlet for a tow truck. But I've read that it can be used as an air supply to pump up tires, etc.
I was under the impression that if you had air brakes/air susp., such a port would exist. I've looked all over my front end (around the gennie) and I can't find one...
Did FR not include one back in 2008? If I'm looking in the wrong spot, I'd sure appreciate a pointer!
Thanks,
Mark...

No problem. Go to Napa get a quick connection fitting. Take out the plug put new fitting. Easy

Should I deflate my air bags to remove some pressure??? If I pull that plug as is, won't it be under 125 psi ?

If the compressor can keep up get the 3/8 but the 1/4 will do.

Pump your brakes to bleed off all the air. All of it!!!

Pull all three lanyards located in the front wheel wells. That will drain all the air in the tanks.

I moved the air horns downward and hung 50 ft of air hose next to the air coupling. I'm sure there are other ides, but maybe you would be interested in this one - LOL
