When you have to put it away for the winter, it sucks.

That hose is a sucker. It will only suck. Designed to suck antifreeze through the pump and to the faucets. There is a valve near the pump end of the hose. Close it. Put water in your tank or hook up city water. Open your faucets, clear for a few minutes and go camping!

So if we de winterize nothing will come through that hose? i have read a few posts on how to winterize but they made no mention of the random hose under slide out. Any info would be great! Thanks!

Thanks! If that is what it id then we will de winterize it this weekend! We did not want to have water leaking from a random hose lol!

Thank everyone for the welcome! Our family has slept in the driveway the past few nights until we can go camping!

Just bought a 2014 R pod 171 after selling  our 2008 Trail Cruiser 26 QBS. Looking to downsize and liked the layout. Had almost passed this one over for a 2012 177 but after taking a look at the 171 we found there to be much more storage in the kitchen despite not having a slide out. Will be tight but just two of us and we are planning on eventually getting into a Roadtrek Class B so this will be a learning experience in downsizing and simplifying.

Welcome, I agree that is the winterizing intake hose.
