    My generator in the side box on my trailer. There is a twist lock right next to the air line. Its in the sheath now instead of outside it.

    We tried the quick connect airlines but when the fittings would get grimed up they were hard to attach and release. Gunk gets in under the sliding collar and sometimes you'd think they were on when they really weren't.
    We went back to regular glad hands.
    The coiled plastic airlines were more trouble than they were worth. Rubber (or whatever they really are) is the way to go.
