My air compressor safety valve cracks like fire works.
I changed the valve but still the same.
Any suggestion???
There is no air building up can't level the coach can't open the dump valve

What is the ambient temp? Is the discharge line frozen with an ice plug?
Is this the engine compressor or the 120v compressor?

It is the engine compressor.i don't know which is the discharge line.the outside temp varieties between 8 and 30 degrees.
I had a big heather facing the back of the coach (newell emergency line sugestion) and it got pretty warm.
I was told that it may be frozen but o have no clue which is the discharge line

Do you have a small compressor you can use plu into the coach.. also consider letting coach run for a30-40 mins. May thaw out the line

Only thing I can think of is to try to let heater warm the engine compartment. You might tape some plastic sheeting over the air vents to keep the heat in the compartment. Once it warms up if compressor functions ok you know it was ice. Get air tanks drained asap. Worst case you may have to call a roadside assist mechanic service. It may take an hour or 2 to met ice block if that's what it is. I would try to get heater under back end of coach if possible so that the heat will rise & thaw from the bottom up.

I have a 110 compressor in the generator compartment for the toilet flash.

Put air line antifreeze in the engine system. Truckers up north do this. I was in freezing weather and everything froze up. I pull into a truck stop and a trucker told me what to do. I bought the antifreeze at the truck stop and pour into the main line that runs from the engine compressor to the air dryer. I pour this in and then crank the engine and let it run for about 30 minutes and the air system started working. When you get then in warmer weather drain all of your air tanks.
