My pastors daughter was in the hospital in Fayetteville ar. For the last week. The hospital had electric service so I drove the coach there and let them stay in it so they didn't have to rent a hotel room and could have a place to stay at the hospital. It has been in the teens and when I went to get it today the front would not air up. Ran the engine for 10 mins on fast idle still nothing.. Called Newell they suspected a frozen airline. They had me turn off the coach and the 110 compressor and then restart the engine and run it at 1500 rpms for a few minutes. It worked coach lifted up. Said I had a frozen airline and after the engine warmed up the air the compressor on the engine was getting was warm enough to melt the blockage
.. Just wanted to pass this on to anyone else who may run into the problem.

That's amazing espically since it's the front. I would never have thought of that. Nice piece of wisdom. Those Newell guys are pretty resourceful.
