Yep, I have to agree with the "Push on" type. The Freightliner chassis under my coach is loaded with them.

But, if I had to do what the OP had to do, I'd use the push on/in type all day long. In fact, I plan on adding a short line to the shrader valve on the bottom of my coach and run it to just inside a nearby compartment.
My coach looses about 10 lbs. of air a day, while parked in it's home, next to our home. Every once in a while, I have to crawl under it and feed it some air, to bring it back up to normal height. So, I'm planning on using those push-in/on types when I construct this little addition.

Why do you feel you have to add air? Just dump the air and leave it it will set on the stops till you start it and get ready for the road. Why do you crawl under to add air? there should be a air chuck in the front above the generator that the wrecker hooks into your airline to release the parking brake so it can be towed.
