Hello all, a new member needs some help

Just want to say hello, I'm a new member and will probably need help to understand how to use the forum, so if I make stupid mistakes please excuse me. I don't know where to ask a question I have about my Sightseer 27C I just purchased. I will try it here, When I turn the key on a Air Compressor starts running for about 25 seconds, then stops. It is mounted in a metal box in the storage compartment on the passenger side just behind the entry door. I do not see it mentioned in any of the Winnebago Manuals I was given, Does anyone know what it is furnishing air to? No air lines are visible coming out of it and it looks like a factory installed unit. The 2002 Sightseer brochure never mentions an option for something using a compressor. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

Don't know what a factory installed air compressor would be for. Maybe someone added air bags and has the automatic air option. If so there should be a pressure gauge on the dash somewhere. Does the compressor have Ride Rite on it anywhere.

Are you sure it is an air compressor? There is a brake "booster" system that will come on with the key on many Ford chassis. It is designed to maintain brake pressure when the engine is off.

I installed one of those in my previous motor homes. It is for a roadmaster brakemaster 9000 brake system. Go to www.brakemasterinc.com and you can check it out.

I agree with Ecodriver. This compressor is for the brakemaster brake system with hydraulia brake for your tow. Now you need brake system for your tow. I like this brake system for the tow. I bought my from ebay
