As things are currently arranged, the auxiliary compressor only does
the toilet. It cuts in around 65# and cuts out at 90PSI. I'd be happy
if it did the dump valves. The suspension/brakes -- well, I'd just as
soon leave those alone. Anyway, I don't mind waiting for the air for
a departure ... the series 60 doesn't take all that long to
pressurize the system --- I usually run it to air up while I'm
raising the HWH jacks anyway, so it doesn't delay a departure much.
(I still go and visually check the HWH jacks to make sure they're up.)
