Extra drain?

All
as I was under my Montana this afternoon, I found an "extra" drain at the rear of my unit. it is under the bedroom. It is just a piece of white hose with a threaded cap on the end. This is far separate from the hot and cold drain up in the utility connections.



Not sure what it is a drain to? There is a washer/dryer unit in the bedroom, is this a low point drain for this? On a related note, if I winterized the washer dryer last year and have not ran it, do I need to winterize the unit again?



Just not wanting to miss something as I get ready to winterize the unit.

Thanks
Bryon

Bryon - that is probably the fresh water tank drain.

This is my guess at your tank layout. I could be completely wrong.
A. This is your fresh water tank overflow.
B. Fresh water tank location. There will be a drain pipe below the fresh tank.
C. If you have a washing machine and if there is a drain pan under it (sitting on the floor of the closet under the washer) it might have a drain hose. This would have been installed by the person that installed the washer. They do not come from the factory with a washer drain pan or drain hose. My washer does not have a drain pan or drain hose.
D. Gray water tank
E. Black water tank
D and E might be reversed…probably aligns with your tank valve pulls.

thanks for your insights....I have never pulled the underbelly off to actually look at the tanks....but based on your diagram I would guess you are correct.


There is no pan or drain under my washer/dryer....it was just in the right spot is why I was thinking about it. Fresh water tank never crossed my mind.... until you pointed it out


Thanks again!!
