Adding an Auxiliary Air Compressor

[Pete Masterson]

In the 95 and later, the aux compressor was mounted near the AquaHot
on the street side 3rd compartment from the front. That puts it
approximately under the galley (or in my case, the dining table). I
don't have an aux compressor, but I do have a 12 v 'pancake tank'
Microphor compressor that provides air pressure for the toilet. While
at CCW, I had them switch the air supply for the dump valves over to
the Microphor compressor -- that was the only air-operated device
(other than the toilet) that's critical to me. I can barely hear the
Microphor compressor from inside the coach -- and conditions have to
be _very_ quiet for me to notice it.

I note that the HWH jacks require the suspension to be dumped, so no
air is used to level the coach. Although, seeing some of the 450 LXi
coaches here getting their weight problem attended to, It's
interesting to see the staff pump them up and down on their air bags
when getting ready to work on something.
