water nipple behind the right rear wheel

[peter brandt]

"Can anyone tell me where the hose from the water nipple behind the right
rear wheel goes back to? Every time I turn on the pump, I get pool from what
I think is probably some sort of pump pressure or priming system.. Found
copper nipple behind wheel, but no evident line or hints as to where it
might once have gone to.."

J.Dexter,
My coach is back in the storage lot now, but IIRC there is a drain valve in
the right rear compartment next to the water pump. Opening the valve and
running the pump sends pressurized warter out through the little drain tube
(red plastic on my coach). The drain cock in the right rear wheel well is
for my water heater. Check the "Living Area Water System" illustration in
your owner's manual (mine is on page 39).

Good luck,

In our MH that also is the drain for the hot water heater (drains real slow)
It comes from the bottom of the tank where it has a petcock to open to drain
and to close. It is first attached to a copper line then changes to a rubber
line that slips on a nipple to drain outside.
You are also going to find other drains over tires which are to drain your
other water lines.

That water heater drain frequently fills up with crud from the bottom of the
heater. Every time I drain the water heater I have to take that apart and clean
it.

I would think that if it is letting water out on to the wheels that the valve is
not completely shut.

Or the relief valve for the water heater also vents out in the same location.
That hose looks more like a garden hose.
