Hello

I recently got a 2001 Rockwood 2280. So far no problems to the pop up. I do have a question. On the roadside of the pop up there are 3 ports, however one is empty. the 1 st is the water tank fill, 2nd is the electric line, and the 3 rd is empty. Can anyone tell me what this port in used for? Thanks for any help.

Would you please post a photo? Thanks.

Here is a pic. Could this be a drain for the sink? Thanks

second one looks to me like it also had a power cord sticking out like your middle one.
only difference is your cover is missing .
maybe they ran an extension cord out of it ?

Possibly Air conditioner cord slot to attach to rooftop a/c unit

I have a 2280 and that is where mine is located.

I have a 2005 2280 and that port is also empty on mine

Could be for a gas line. We had a PUP and it had a port that was empty. The gas line for the stove would disconnect inside then pass the hose through the port and was able to use the stove outside. If I owned the trailer I would replace the port with a new one. As stated you are missing the cover. It would make easy access for unwanted critters into the trailer.

on my old popups, there was a port like that for the propane pigtail to attach to the stove when i mounted it outside.

We had a 2008 2280 until a few weeks ago. It had the same empty slot. When we bought it the salesman told us it was slot for the A/C cord but because our unit did not come with A/C it was just an empty slot.

I would agree on AC. Gas line would be on passenger side.

I'd get a cover for it as. Mentioned above to keep insects (bees wasps) and other critters out.

I was thinking of installing a used roof Coleman A/C . It seems simple...just remove the vent and install the A/C and run the power cord out the empty port on the side. Now for the question. How can I find out if the roof on the 2001 freedom 2280 is able to support the AC weight?

Hi, looking at the pic of the 3rd "hole" it looks like there was a flip up cover like the one for the electric cord. With the way it looks like petals on a flower, it makes me think something was supposed be able to pass thru there. Can you access it from the inside?

I really don't think it's for the AC. I have AC installed on mine and the hole is still empty

mlp2435 · 06-03-2012, 09:33 PM

Oh and the propane for outside grill is on passenger side

we just had our demo last week for our 2012 2280, the ports on the side from left to right (if I remember correctly)
water tank in (pour it in from a container etc)
water take in (hose hook up)
grey water out
electrical
A/C wire passthrough.

there is also place to attach a cable (for television).

so I'd say yours is for the A/C as well. We don't have A/C so don't even know how that whole thing works. Do you pass the A/C cord into that port and then it plugs in somewhere inside the pup?
