Freshwater tank overflow hose?
Greetings -
First time poster (I will be sending in my money soon to become a full sponsor) ... and new owner of a gently used 1990 M23 (aka 2720). We haven't yet taken it on the road, but overall it seems to be in excellent shape, and everything seems to work. The dealer we bought it from gave a fairly helpful tour, even though this was only the second trailmanor they had ever seen <g>. I had already found this forum (and the helpful checklists/manuals), so I was able to help facilitate the tour as well ... this is our first trailer, so hopefully it will work out well for us for a few years.
Anyway, once I got it home and was able to take a more lengthy look around, I found something that doesn't quite make sense. On the freshwater tank (left hand side, under the seat, next to the battery compartment), there is an 'extra' hose. It is just over a foot long, and has a a butt end connector clamped on, but the other end of the connector isn't connected to anything (see attached picture, battery cover removed for clarity, the end of the hose is resting on the positive wire). So - what is this hose for, and where should it be connected? I'm assuming since it is connected to the top of the freshwater tank that it is an overflow tube ... but, I don't see anywhere that it should go (other than flooding the compartment with the battery, which seems like a bad idea to me). Is it supposed to drain down through the floor or back out the side wall?
Any insight would be greatly appreciated ... thanks ... I look forward to posting many more questions and reading the findings of others over the next few years ...
