What is this valve for?

Any idea what this valve is for? I bought this camper used and the previous owner didn't know what it was for either. Nothing comes out when it's open. I don't know if it is a vent for a tank or a drain for the A/C, but I can't see why I'd want the ability to close either of those.

    Have you had it open when running water pump or with city water connected.

    Looks like it has a 'barb' fitting so think it had some other hose connected.maybe for spraying down with ???

    Fresh water tank DRAIN???

    Inside RV directly above where hose goes thru-----what is in that area?



    A/C Unit drains are just small holes in drip pan and condensation run down roof line and off trailer

    Suction inlet for winterizing? LP gas hookup for portable grill (or inlet for connection to a larger bulk LP tank)?

    I doubt it's an air suspension setup, both because those typically have a tire valve sort of arrangement and because I don't think air suspensions are at all common on fifth wheel RVs.
