Allegro Bus Underside Drain/Drip

[ah3000mk1]

I have a 2014 Allegro Bus 45LP. Under the coach, passenger side just forward of the rear wheelwell, there is what appears to be a drain extending out of the bottom. It looks like PVC with a V-shaped rubber cap with a clamp. There also appears to be a gasket that is in sad shape.
In any case, I had a steady, intermittant leak from around this pipe for several weeks which has stopped dripping for some reason. Does anyone know what this drain is for? If I push up on it it moves up about 1/2". If I can determine what it's for I may be able to figure out the source of the drip and or how to access it.
Thanks!

I don't know what that drain is for. But the rubber end is typically called a Duck Bill. It's purpose is to allow, normally water, to drain out of a appliance. The Duck Bill allows for a the pipe to drain without allowing unwanted things to get inside. Fridge or A/C for example.

Pretty sure it's the overflow for your water tank.

Thanks! I beleve this pipe to be the fresh water tank overflow. I'm thinking the city water/fresh water selection valve to have been not fully moved into the city water selection position which filled the fresh water tank over time and caused the tank to be overfilled. I'm hooked up in a campsite. The duckbill makes sense in this application

Thanks! I believe you are correct. I think I filled the fresh water tank inadvertently by not having my city water valve fully selected and trickling water into this tank. Now I need to see if I have a loose fitting in the overflo line as I don't think the overflow was exiting through the duckbill. Hopefully, it's something simple like the duckbill not allowing water through causing a slight drip from the top of the duckbill or the srewon fitting above it.

We are new Owners of a 2014 45LP and that is the fresh water overflow. Still learning all of the systems and we love our coach. It is exactly what we were looking for.
