Question about when a towing company uses their air system to charge a towed motorhome through the external charge port. Their air isn't filtered by the coach air dryer so if they introduced moisture into the system could it be removed by draining the tanks? Would it be circulated around and then caught by the filter once the coach was up and running again?

Yes, most tow trucks have AIR DRYERS. But your tanks will have drains. So, to do a "belts and suspenders" when you are back ready to go, open the tank drains to check for contaminates.

Likely that's the usually case but if you weren't sure and wanted to do something in a preventative sense would draining the system help or would the coach eventually remove the moisture as the air cycled through the system once you were back on the road?
