Stupid question about tires
So y'all can call me uneducated, stupid or whatever you like, but the 5th wheel we are looking at comes with nitrogen in the tires. Are there nitrogen pumps available? Can you mix it with air or jus...

I see several haulers swear by using nitrogen in the commercial trucks and trailers. Same size trucks and trailers we rv with.
If I went back to hauling I would use nitrogen all around but for just using a truck for pulling my rv trailer regular compressed air works fine.
Your choice.
You see several haulers that are not real intelligent. Did they purge their tires of existing atmospheric pressure air before the nitrogen? If not they have already eliminated the reason for nitrogen to begin with.
On the subject of why a LTL trucker would use nitrogen ......one of the reasons discussed was many of them were using nitrogen was for a more consistent tire pressure rolling from coast to coast and border to border from high desert heat temps to cold temps in a single day vs compressed air needing their constant pressure attention. In other words they found what worked better for their situation.
If your experience shows you don't need nitrogen thats fine but many in fact do. If you don't feel the need for such using the product or don't want the added complexity and cost, no one is going to think badly of you for your decision.
