In the front of our coach is a multi-port fitting all either 1/8" or 1/4" pipe, many of them plugged. 1 port feeds the air horns and 1 is the incoming air pressure. First you have to bleed of all air them remove one of the plugs. I used a 45* into a small 1/4 turn valve and then put a regular quick connect air fitting just like in my shop. I got a 50ft hose and I can reach all my tires. Most of the time you have to bleed off some air to get the compressor to kick in so I carry a air gun (handy for cleaning things also) that quick connects along with my tire filler assembly. Don't forget to use Teflon tape or some pipe joint dope on the pipe threads.
