Adrian,
I never suggested that you go under the coach until it is cribbed up safely. I'm glad you felt uncomfortable as that would be a very dangerous and possibly deadly practice.
As I said not all coaches have the air tank in R-1. It is about 50-50. Evidently you don't. You will have every other air tank I described. The two black oval air tanks you saw are the air tanks for the front brake system. The two crossmember tanks you will not see until you are able to get under the coach.
Look again on the rear wall of the left wheel well. The air dryer with the desiccant filter on top is on the rear wall inside the tag tire. If you still can't see it, raise the coach and use a flashlight. To change the filter I raise the coach all the way with the leveling system, crib up the coach as described and I can change it from the side of the coach without getting under. The filter IS NOT under pressure so you do not need to drain the air system to change the filter.
