how does one know that the tow trucks air compressor fits the original MH air fittings? Is there a code(part#) that MH manufactures and all tow companys share/use?

Prism,
I've worked with quite a few tow truck drivers while on the FD for over a career and, most of them were seasoned vets and were prepared for just about anything that they were faced with.

Now, most of the larger tow rigs, are dispatched to tow large trucks, i.e. motor homes and just about anything that has air brakes. They've got lots of fittings and adapters on most. Every once in a while, you'll find an ill prepared driver and truck but, I think that's rare. There are a few types of quick release fittings out there and, who knows that, if you'll ever need a tow, that, that driver/truck will be equipped with the right fittings to back fill your system to release your brakes?? I suppose you, ( as a diesel motor home owner with air brakes) could purchase every type of quick release fitting and adapter so that, if and when the time ever came, you'd at least be somewhat prepared FOR the tow truck driver.
