2008 Coachmen Freelander 2130QB question
Hey! New to the forum as well as to RVing (2 months on the road) I've figured some things out, as well as learning new things. I am truly confused as to what this thing is. It's right next to my city...

Drew, you might be correct, I don't know about those winterizing connectors. Do you think it might be an older version of the aftermarket BT connector kit, like the one in this link ?
The below link shows a pic of a slightly different model that uses a white smooth plastic coupler instead of the older models white 'star' plastic coupling that is shown in the OP's pic, which is a threaded hose connector.
The OP's picture looks very similar to the factory winterization connector on my Coachmen motorhome, which is not a garden hose thread but something a little smaller--I'm pretty sure it's a normal NPT (national pipe thread) fitting, looks to be about 1/2" to my eye. Mine also has a threaded plug for when it's not in use, and a maybe 3' length of tubing connected to a mating fitting to use when winterizing--or when pumping water from some outside container into the tank.
I have no specific familiarity with these black tank rinse fittings. I suppose it's possible that one could use an NPT fitting and come with an adapter for a garden hose, although it seems a bit pointless to me to do so. Threading on the one is about as much work as the other, so why bother with something that requires an additional adapter bit to attach to your hose? A quick-connect fitting is a different matter entirely, of course.
