airlines out the back of truck

you solve the mudflap problem with a spring to hold them up

 

Some guys do. They just have quick coupler hook ups to plug their lines into on their deck plate

 

I have the same quick couples hook up behind my sleeper and I have a set of air lines to hook to them. Though I don't normally carry those lines with me, except in the winter when I pull UPS trailers.
So normally I can't hook to another trailer.
But this also adds better security to my trailer when it's droped for the weekend.

 

Good point about the added security.

 

quick question fellas as i plan on doing this also, can i use regular air compressor couplers or are there heavy duty ones i should use?

 

I found the Milton regular air fittings to be best quailty and recommend the 1/2 fittings. Little pricy like twenty for a pair and you'll need two pair.
But yes regular compressor couplers but the milton brand is the heavy's duty that I could find.
I've had my on for couple years and no problems.
I have seen some guys use the normal glad hands but I don't care for it and doesn't have a way to lock together like quick couplers.

 

I used an old bumper for my hillbilly setup.











I never really abandon my trailer anywhere but it's one more cog in the security gearbox.
