Can someone identify this part that is leaking
Hi I have a 2010 freedom LTD. Im attaching a picture of a part of the plumbing that is leaking. Its the white part on the hot water line. Was wondering if someone could let me know what it is and if they know how to replace. I got this pop-up a few years ago used and am new to campers. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You might have a damaged or missing the cone gasket under the cap.

So are those valves on the cold in/hot out? If so there's some newer technology valves available.

If your pic is upside down, then those are your H/C low point drains.

And if they are, you merely need to hand-tighten the caps a little bit.

Take the cap off and verify that you have a cone gasket installed. The gasket does the sealing, not the cap.

Air gap?
If the picture is not right side up, the larger white device could be an air gap on the line going to your black tank rinse. It would only leak when you are rinsing the black tank. However, it could drain out a little after you shut the rinse water off.

The OP has a popup and posted this in the Tent Camper/Popup section.
No such thing as a black tank rinser in popups.

These look like they are inside the camper and they are lift up and push down to open and close the low point drains. I had this type in my old popup and after the first year, mine also leaked.
OP - i removed these from my popup when I had it and replaced them with ball valves.
