Mystery brass valves?

[Stan Simpson]

Joel, you forgot the 50 ft of air hose.

Here's a little tip you might consider:
A small piece of aluminum foil (~ 6 to 8 inches square) scrunched to cover the air fitting will protect it from dirt, dust and water and assist in ensuring a trouble free and tight connection for the male air hose fitting.

On my '05 Monty this air fitting, located just above the muffler and behind the battery tray is not very well protected from the elements.

Does this do the same thing?

Nope.  It only measures the pressure in the tire, and it's relief valve will let air out of the tire without helping trigger the engine's compressor to keep onboard tanks above the pressure necessary to inflate the tire.

Confused?  Watch the two RVGeeks YouTube videos on tire inflation.

Stan, I already had the hose and its fittings, as many owners do.

As to dust covers for the fittings while stored, and for the port on the coach, I'm told these fit so will try them out in lieu of regular dust boots:
