Can I run the diesel engine and charge the onboard air compressor to inflate my tires while camped with the jacks down. I ask this because the leveling jacks bleed the air before extending the jacks. I could not find any reference to this in my Winnie manual.

Rex - I think we have done that before. Go ahead and give it a try - you wouldn't hurt anything.
I have definitely done that in my 02 Horizon. With jacks down; slides out, I started the engine, and aired up the tires with no problem. The bags do not inflate. Of course the jacks-down alarm was beeping, but it's only doing what it's supposed to.

This post is 2 days old so I'm curious about the results. I know there is a condition on the HWH that the bleed valves stay open unless told to close by the operator that will never allow the tanks to fill.
