The "standard" air quick connects will be either "industrial" or "automotive" and are not interchangeable.

Roland,
Hopefully you have road service as part of your MH insurance coverage. If so, a call to your carrier should confirm coverage and they will summon the "big wrecker" for your rig.
Low boy service would be preferable, but we have experienced very good service with no coach damage from companies that GEICO selected. You usually can ask the tow provider if they have low boy service available, if not have the tow company contact you and make sure the tow company knows whether you have a solid front axle or independent front suspension (this will tell the experienced operator what equipment he/she needs to bring to tow your rig safely).
While suggestions of using a pancake compressor to feed the air port in the compartment below the driver's window is good in theory, I cannot imagine where you would have the compressor situated and powered rolling down the road.
The tow truck operator will have the correct air fitting to feed your rig while it is being towed.
It sounds like you need to have the entire air system checked due to the dessicant filter failure that you outlined and the possible problems outlined by Wolfe 10, however you can purchase the entire air pressure dessicant filter assembly (filter, filter mount, valves etc. ) from NAPA as they stock these units.
Acworth is a big enough town to have a NAPA store or two in town. Mine is a Haldex Pure Air Plus if memory serves and was available at my local store with a one day lead time.
While the compressor unloader valve may be the issue, it is also possible that the main connection to the compressor itself is not tight and therefore making it difficult to re-build the pressure (don't ask me how I know!).
Good luck in solving your issue, remember ....never panic as this to will pass!

Mine is a standard female quick connect. It is 1 of the 3 main styles. I had to change the one on my hose to get plugged in.

Not conclusively, but I have a different local tech coming out who is willing to do the compressor in place, if he agrees that that is the actual problem.
Also, I am going to buy a compressor, if n3cessary to avoid towing it to a shop. But so far, no shop is
able to handle the work load without a long wait...
Weeks or months.

Compressors don't come and go, unloader valves can.
So can sticking relay valves thruout the system.

Good luck to you Rollie, and please keep us posted.
Had to step outside for awhile to help neighbor with lost pooch. No luck there.

The only shop that will even consider helping me said wait until March.
My coach has a side radiator, which I think would make the job easier than rear radiator coaches.

Don't know your mechanical inclinations but were it me, I'd head on over to Ace hardware or Tractor Supply in the car and get a portable compressor and fittings and go to Florida and make permanent repairs there. If you give up, you just have to know someone will be too eager to snatch up your pristine coach. Good luck with whatever you decide!!

You lost me when you were going to Campers Inn for repairs. Hook up an auxiliary compressor & get to where a real Tech can be found.

Long story re Campers Inn. Not worth repeating.
Very deceptive.

Are you willing and able to do some repairs yourself? Lots of people on here that can help out some with info.
Did you check the drier outlet like I said? If it's bad, you can run with it bypassed, no problem.
