Washing machine

It looks like my hose that drains the washing machine is leaking under the camper any ideas on how to fix that?

It always helps to put the make and model of your RV in your post, so people will have an idea about it.

Can you see where it's leaking from or is it just dripping from the underbelly?

How did you determine that it was from the washer and not somewhere else?

You're most likely going to have to gain access into the underbelly by cutting a flap out or removing the fasteners and lowering the coroplast (unless you have removable panels) and see exactly where the water is coming from.

Even if you found a video of this repair on an identical unit as yours, it may be plumbed differently.
If the washer is in the nose of the fifth wheel, you may be able to see some of the washer plumbing in the basement compartments.
You just have to remove the bottom cloroplast and see what you have going on. No other way to do it.

Oh, I agree! A video for everything. I use those videos way more often than I would like to admit to fix any manner of broken stuff! And then sometimes those videos help me break whatever it is enough to replace the whole thing
