Air Compressor in 87 Classic 345

I have a Thomas on mine, but it is an "oiless" type, not requiring any maintenance other than replenishing the oil reservoirs on the motor bearings.

FWIW, the compressor in the '87 is NOT original, so it has been replaced at least once.
I have a Classic 345 like Dennis, and just recently found the air compressor under the starboard mattress. Can the outboard air fitting in the starboard aft exterior storage compartment be used to supply air, such as for filling the tires? There was some pressure when a put a hose into the fitting, but not much.

While the dash gauge says I have plenty of pressure in the suspension, I don't recall if I've ever heard the compressor come on. It didn't make a peep when I bled the pressure from the air fitting mentioned above. That was with the ignition key in the [ON] position.

Thanks.
