In most RVs that I have had experience with, one of those pipes will drain the fresh water tank, and the other will be the "low point drain" for the plumbing system.

Fresh water drain.

Thanks for reply.I notice their in an inlet valve near front door at the back of my camper says fresh water tank fill.Im on camper water so I haven't used it or never has been used.My question is their a drain line under my steps near this valve could that be my fw drain

Pics are often more helpful than descriptions. Also trailer model number is more helpful than its length.

Two 1/2" pipes about 10" long with caps on them, likely one is blue (cold water) and the other is red (hot water), are the low point drains for the water system.

See the discussions on this group regarding draining the water heater first, setting it to bypass, before dumping the hot water low point drain. Keeps from sucking sediment from the water heater into the system.

The fresh water tank usually has a drain line and/or valve on the bottom of the tank.

Congrats and good luck with the new camper.

Most likely they are the low point drains; one for cold water lines, one for hot.

With R/Vs of that era, there are often 3 pipes as you describe.
A hot plumbing low point drain, a cold plumbing low point drain and a fresh tank drain. Before, colored PEX, most of these pipes were opaque.

As mentioned, pics are often helpful.

^^^^^ What he said. If I remember right the plumbing on our 2007 Puma was not color coded.

If they are close together they probably are Hot and Cold line drains. If near the fresh tank probably drains it..... (For winter)

Is the under belly enclosed???? Most Pumas back then were not.

In crawling around under out TT, not only do we have two low point drains close to the outside for conveience. I found another low point drain in the line between the cold low point drain and the toilet supply. This is about midway between the driver side and curb side of the TT. Guess someone figured that an additional drain was needed.

The fresh water tank drain is very obvious as it hangs down from the tank with a valve on the end. I've given thought to making some modifications as this seems it could be an area where road debris could just knock it off or damage it.

I plan to add a piece of Kindorf iron to provide addiditional support the fresh water tank. If I do so, I may make a deflector to reduce the likelyhood of damage to the fresh water drain system.
