Damage to RV from refrigerator drain hose
K
Forum Discussion
I would NOT hold my breathe on INSURANCE accepting claim
2 issues
1) Did YOU maintain the drain hose insuring that it was properly draining to the OUTSIDE of fridge compartment??
2) Did the RV MFG. properly follow Dometic Installation Instructions when they (RV MFG) installed fridge??
Typical (very common method) Dometic fridge drain hose placement thru lower vent
Dometic Installation Instructions
CONDENSATE WATER DRAIN HOSE:
A 3/4" hole must be drilled through the flooring in the opening of the base plate on the rear of refrigerator (see FIG. 5D).
The installer must make sure that the hose does not kink when run through the floor.
Seal around the hose where it goes through the hole.
In vehicles where routing the drain hose through the floor is not possible, a metal clip is available.
The clip is used to drain water out through the side vent
