White hose has water dripping from it.Red hose is dry.Drained fresh water a couple of days ago, so it's empty.Have tested water heater and run water last couple of days prior to draining FW tank.Both red and white hoses are plugged.Water appears to be dripping from the white hose plug, but that's the lowest point, so ...

More background information needed...what/where do the hoses go to and from?Generally speaking, in an ideal world, hoses are not supposed to leak water.

I really don't understand what you're talking about but on the off chance you're draining your water system, did you also drain the hot water heater?

Sorry, my TT is so simple that the only pair of hoses outside the trailer, one red one white, would be the water heater hoses.I did not drain the water heater.The only draining I did was the fresh water tank.Surprised to see water dripping from the white hose from the water heater.

Follow the loose water back to the source?Or is this just the low point drains with the caps off? If so it is probably normal. Might need a wet/dry vacuum to get the water out.

There are NO water heater hoses.

The Red pipe is low point drain for hot water lines
The White pipe is low point drains for cold water lines

Water heater is drained via drain plug in outside water heater compartment.

Sounds like cold water drain is leaking or open and draining.

Sounds like low-point drains? If so, and they weren't opened when draining the system there would still be water in the pipes, and if the cap isn't tight it'll drip ...

OK, so there is water dripping from the low point drain line (thanks for clarification), but the plug seems tight. I'll have to figure out if the water is dripping from the plug or coming from above and dripping off the plug.

If dripping from above and down onto drain plug you need to ID where that water is coming from ASAP.
Water leaks will destroy an RV---FAST

If plug is dripping it will pour when using pump or city water connection. It needs to be fixed before next use.

Been messin' about and can't see any water signs above. Will keep looking. City water didn't increase drip.

Did you use pipe tape when reinstalling the plug in the low point drain? How about a picture so we can see what is on the end of the drain lines?
