I used the air compressor method last year. I'll check out the routing of the hose when I get back from my trip next week. This hose got dragged out when I brought my slide in the other day otherwise I would never had seen it. Thanks for the replies. ]]> Sun, 20 Sep 2020 16:50:57 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14025&PID=136352#136352 Plumbing help : Most rPods have two hoses with... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14025&PID=136321#136321 Author: offgrid

Most rPods have two hoses with a valve selecting between them, feeding to the water pump. One hose is open ended, the other goes to the fresh water tank. The normal position of the valve is to pull from the tank.  The open ended one is there to draw in RV antifreeze for winterization. 

I suggest you pull up the bed and confirm your suspicion that the other end of that hose goes to the pump. If so then it looks like someone has removed the feed line from the fwt for some reason, and if you don't plan to ever use the fwt and pump then I guess you can leave it as is. Or you can install a new line to the tank or cap the line so you don't run the risk that the check valve in the pump leaks and gets water in your trailer. That check valve leaking is fairly common. 

I'm assuming that if you've never used the pump then you are using the air compressor method to winterize?

This is the valve for winterizing the RPod. The hose going to nothing is for putting RV antifreeze into the water system. Stick the end into a 1 gallon jug of pink RV antifreeze, set the valve, and you are set. You said the other line went to the water pump (input line, I would think). The fitting without anything attached should (if I am understanding correctly) be connected to a line from your fresh water tank. Where that is, I have no idea.

Please follow up and let us know if my analysis is correct.

Can someone ID this hose for me ? Hose to right is connected to nothing. Other hose goes under the bed I assume to the water pump. Then a nipple with nothing. 2010 177. I have never used the water pump so I'd like to know if this is FUBAR. Thanks ]]> Sat, 19 Sep 2020 18:29:57 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14025&PID=136319#136319
