Stupid question about filling tires
We are two women who just bought our first (used) motorhome. And the first problem I encounter is that I can't find anyplace near me to fill my tires with air! How do you find a place??? I'm in South...

Dana, to add to my above post.
Have you found a sticker inside the coach showing air pressures ?
Can you tell tire size, and maximum pressure on the tire sidewall ?
Can you tell make, model, and year of your coach ?
Strongly urge you to get a compressor, but you need the above information to know how "big" a compressor you need.
Initially, acquire an accurate pressure gauge that will read the maximum pressure listed on the tire, even though you may need less.
If you post the make and model coach, along with tire size, I'm sure someone can give you "ball park" tire pressures (front is likely different from back) to use if you cannot find a sticker inside with recommended pressures.
With the above information, and until you get a compressor, you can do the following :
1. Air the tires up to maximum (from tire sidewall)at a tire dealer or truck stop.
2. Drive home, park overnight, and before the sun is on the tires, measure and let out air until you reach recommended pressures (either from coach sticker or from manufacturer or someone on this forum that has the same model coach).
