Air compressor while on jacks

SO when we have the bus lowered, on jacks, and slides out can I turn the motor on which will fill the accumulation tank to be able to inflate the tires on our Jeep after we have deflated them to play in sand? I think so but wanted to check.

We have been using a separate compressor when have to drive a distance from the RV in Utah but on the Oregon and Washington coast it is very close by and would be nice to leave it at home.

My air bags don't inflate until you retract the jacks, your should be the same

You are using a high Horsepower air compressor. I carry a Vair or a pancake depending on the trip. Maybe take a look at a smaller footprint air compressor to take along?

If you do chose to use the coach it is best to kick the idle up by using your cruise control as idling is very bad for your particulate filter

Thanks: think I will keep bringing ours. The Jeep has a 120 outlet and I have a spear holding tank from my past days of lapping days. Plenty of room in the back of the Jeep.
