Behind your front tires, on one side you'll find two wires with loops in them sticking out from holes in the frame rail, and one wire with loop on the other side. With your awning rod, hook the loop and pull on it and let the air bleed for about 10 seconds (per tank). This drains out moisture that collects in the tanks.<br /><br />Also, you can electronically check your trans fluid from the dirver seat using the transmission selector pad.<br /><br />With the transmission fully warmed up, stop on a level surface, put the trans in Park, set your air parking brake and press the up and down arrows at the same time for a couple of seconds. The transmission will check itself and in about 30 seconds you'll get a reading, OK, Low, etc on the pad. <br /><br />You can find this information in greater detail in the Freightliner Owners Manual.<br /><br />As for nitrogen, can't say for sure where to get some. I don't use it so can't help ya' there. :c(Paul and Marti Dahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17332654035718777839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4849125756119554432.post-54517448279135425742012-04-20T19:42:43.296-04:002012-04-20T19:42:43.296-04:00Love love love the sunrise pictures!

My kids and I always called them "cotton candy skies" because of the blues, pinks, and purples. <br /><br />Sorry McGiver doesn't know anything about nitrogen in tires (and neither do I but that was a given!!!).<br /><br />Don't you just love piddling a day away!Dan and Triciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17470671942137771745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4849125756119554432.post-87555816123051595002012-04-20T18:28:42.429-04:002012-04-20T18:28:42.429-04:00What a gorgeous sunrise.

Don't think there are any campgrounds actually on the ocean or the gulf. They all seem to need a drive unfortunately. Well except the lucky folks in the keys of course.<br /><br />You seem to be adjusting very well to the life, but then you had a trial run! :-)Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00328866430156879312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4849125756119554432.post-69283776617025811222012-04-20T16:19:42.240-04:002012-04-20T16:19:42.240-04:00Bill not sure but aren't the brakes on Baby Ai...Bill not sure but aren't the brakes on Baby Air Brakes. If so there is no fluid and you have to bleed the air seperator that removes the moisture from your airlines.<br /><br />About the Nitrogen in the tires it is put in at tire service centers and is not cost effective for any individual to own such a system. Once you have added any air from a pump or your own compresser just keep doing that until you need a tire repaired or replaced.<br /><br />Be Safe and Enjoy!<br /><br />It's about time.Rick and Kathy Rousseauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05187734210342762674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4849125756119554432.post-84874394220376700982012-04-20T16:02:19.705-04:002012-04-20T16:02:19.705-04:00Forgetting the camera just means that you get a ch...Forgetting the camera just means that you get a chance to enjoy the moment. We had to get a funnel for our DEF tank too although we haven't topped it off yet. We haven't driven it enough I guess.<br />SylGin and Sylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11849882478471352086noreply@blogger.com
