Disconnected Hoses

[Graywalker]

The 2006 Wildwood LE 30 BHBS (by Forest River) I just bought a few weeks ago... I FINALLY get to hook up City Water and turn it on... water starts pouring out of this blue hose under the trailer on the Door Side, near the back.
There is a Red Hose and a Blue Hose hanging out a taped over hole. I want a shower!! What do I do??

I have no user manual or repair guide... didn't know I'd need one THIS soon.

Went to look for valves under the sink in the bathroom, I see hoses, but a panel that covers part of the cabinet is screwed in with square bit screws... Not sure where my square bits are...

It is a very rarely used square head bit too. The cheaper bit sets often don't have that size in them. If you find one keep it in your camper with a handle to drive it. A lot of things on campers are held together with that size bit.

If it has valves like my trailer they look like twist valves but twisting them does nothing. You have to push them down to close them and pull them up to open them.

Here is a picture of my low point drains. Theey are also the type that you pull to open and push to close. Note that these drains are in the compartment with the hot water heater. I have also labeled the water heater bypass valves which are shown in the "normal" position. Switch all three to the oposite position for "bypass" mode.

I went and got two water hose shutoff valves... and they don't fit. Not water hose sized. LOL...

I've now see where it is 1/2" PEX pipes and an idea to replace the ends with cutoff valves... tempting.

But, either way, no shower tongiht 😞

Deleted.

Several others had already replied about looking for valves.

Yep, some of them have valves. Inside, or outside. You might just need to shut off the valve.

My valves are on the low point drain hoses at the end. If yours do not have those then there should be a cap for it.

Our RV has valves inside for the low point drains. Look for valves behind cabinets or whetever else is above where the blue and red hoses come outside.

When you winterize this Fall close the drain valves after draining so insects won't be able to crawl up into the water lines.

Nah, he gave you a chance to start learning about your trailer...low point drains are part of the basics.

That hose is the low point drain in the cold (blue) and hot (red) water lines. They usually have caps for them. They must not have been reinstalled after the unit was winterized. Check with the RV dealer, they should be able to give you some.

they are hot and cold low point drains. Put a cap on the one that has no cap
