what is the leaking faucet in the middle of my DP

this was only our second trip in our new DP. There is a faucet below the undercarriage about right in the middle of the coach. Doesn't smell so I don't think it is any kind of oil. Only thing I can think of is it a drain for the moisture accumulated in the air compressor and if so do I need to do anything with it?

    A year,make and model of your coach would help people answer your questions better. It could be the freshwater tank drain or the condensate drain from the AC if it occurs after filling the fresh water tank it could be the overflow.

    thanks for the quick response - it is not the AC or the water tank low point drain. The DP is a 2014 Coachman Sportscoach 361 BH. It has a 300 hp Cummins. Hope this helps. It did not happen in filling the water tank I only carry 5 gallons in that tanks. It happened when we arrived home and shut down.

    Does it look like a regular hose faucet? I have one in my coach where I can connect a garden hose and wash my coach or use it for anything else.

    AC condensate drain. You will see the same thing under the front of your car.

    it does look like a regular faucet. It is not the AC drain. If it was to wash your DP I would assume it would be more readily available than requiring me to go all the way under the chassis to connect a hose.??? It has stopped running after about 20 minutes and about a 1/2 gallon of water.

    It sounds like the overflow for your fresh water tank. The tank will sometimes drip for quite sometime after the fresh water tank is filled. I believe that someone installed the faucet to prevent the water from running all over the ground after the fresh water tank is filled.
