2 air ports near front drivers side tire?

Curious about two air valves near my front drivers tire, I know the lower one is for my driver side air bag. (The passenger side has its own valve) What could the upper one be for?
-the hose goes straight through the floor and disappears under the drivers area carpet.
The label only says 90 psi
It is a 1987 Establishment on a P30 chassis

I tried to attached a photo-but don't know how!!

My old P30 had them under the hood. It's for adjusting the pressure in the air bags inside the front coil springs. Some good P30 info HERE

I have an air port tied into the coach air brake system to add air in an emergency so you can move the beast. And also..... a separate air port to use for inflating tires, toys etc.. Both are in a compartment just forward of the drivers side wheel.

They are probably for the Firestone weight assist lifts. I had them on a gasoline coach on the rear. They helped on the rear to lift the rear end up. I used 90 lbs of air on each one.

Do they look like schrader valves on tires?

It COULD also be a water pressure tank fill valve to maintain a stable water flow at the faucets and shower. if it is, it should be set to around 25 psi. It should be matched to your pumps pressure to be absolutely correct.

could that other port be for the rear air bags?

Could it be a purge air? To let the water out of the compressor? Open the valve to let the air blow out the water.

Can you trace them-- where do they go. If to the front air bags, should be visible when looking from the ground at the front bumper.

Hopefully the two front air bags (OE equipment) are not tied together. So, perhaps one is for left, one for right air bag.

If tied together, on a corner, the outer bag will not support the weight-- it will just allow the air to go to the inner corner's bag. Heel may be OK for a dog, but not for a motorhome.

I would consider checking the air pressure. Then, let the air out and watch what happens.
You can always air it back up.
