Aux Compressor air tank

My aux air compressor does not have an air tank. The tank that is there is only for the awning. Has mine been replaced or was it designed that way? Any other members have this set up?
 My drawing shows the aux compressor air tank and not an air tank for the awning.
Air bladder for the slide works properly although it seems slow to deflate.

Part of me wants to re-plumb, part of me wants to let it alone.....what to do?

Rick,

On my 2002 the smaller/third air tank in the front  of the coach is for the DC compressor.  As with the brake tanks, you do need to drain any water from it frequently.
The slide bladder deflation is a result of a air powered venture to suck the air out. The 2002 has a 30 second timer for bladder deflation and not a vacuum sensor shut off.  That time has always been sufficient for complete deflation for me.

Will crawl under and look for the "3rd tank" as I don't remember seeing it.  That would explain a few things. I learned about the air gasket (from this forum, early on in my ownership) and always do visuals before moving the SO.
I will do some searching about that tank.
thanks Jim.....

Hi Rick, I believe that the small tank supplies air to the bladder is the Aux Pump tank or also called third tank.  Yours setup is the original..

Do you guys have an awning air tank located on the aux air compressor?

No awning air tank.  I think your awning is an aftermarket add. 

I have found that the timer on my bladder deflate needs an extra 10 seconds to complete the default before retracting the slide.
