do not under any circumstances crawl under your motor home and bleed air out of the tanks, unless you want to be crushed like a bug!!

There are three air reservoirs, one for the rear brakes, one for the front brakes and one for the accessories. They are supposed to be drained periodically, but in reality, if you keep you air dryer serviced regularly, water accumulation should not be a problem. When you park your coach, be sure to pump the brake pedal to exhaust all the air pressure, otherwise the constant pressure is tough on the seals and other brake parts. The engine air compressor is on the passenger side high rear (toward the transmission) and can be seen and felt by looking behind the exhaust pipe.

My best fuel mileage (interstate driving on the coastal plain) is 6 MPG which is normal. If you start in Denver and drive 60 MPH downhill to Dallas on the interstate you might eek out 7 MPG.

Will be happy to share information on the 6V92 with you.
