new 26dbh ???

I just bought a new camper and I am new to campers so I'm doing my best...bought a grey wolf 26dbh 2015....I filled my fresh water tank for the first time and there is a small white hose that runs out under the camper where i fill, it has no valve and no cap, I assume it's some type of overflow??? However it seemed to have water running out for sometime after I filled up and then my tank only read 2/3 full....I canot find anything in my manual about this little white hose that is stubbed out about 4 inches under my trailer...I know the low points are about 12 ft farther up the camper...aNY advice?? thanks

Sounds like the freshwater tank overfill tube. When I filled my tank I would wait until the water came out of this tube, as I knew the tank was now filled. The water from the overflow tube came out for about 3-5 minutes then stopped.

if it is a little white hose between the axles (at least where it is located on the 23dbh) that is not an overflow, that is a tank drain. It should have a grey threaded pipe on it that should be capped. The low point drains will not drain off the fresh water tank. I placed ball valves on all of my low points and freshwater tank lines, it is quicker and will not wear out over time.

Hmm, ball valves. I'm gonna have to remember that.

On my Wildwood 26TBSS. I had the fresh tank drain with the valve on it as well as an overflow hose that only had water flowing from in when I over filled the tank. This was also located between the axles.
