New Motorhome Help. Do you know what this pipe is? (1 Viewer)

[Sunny Girl]

I noticed something dripping out of this pipe and damp below the front tyre. It was a dry day.

She’s going back Tuesday to be checked over but I wondered if anyone knows what this pipe is?

Thanks

Waste water pipe?

 

[Swifter]

. It’s cable trunking . Probably for a marker light . It needs reattaching to the underside of the van .
Not sure why there was water coming out of it

Edit
Maybe it is a water pipe and that’s a home made bracket to keep it attached to the underside of the van . Have you looked underneath?

the water is probably coming from the windscreen drain and is normal open the bonnet and look at the top of the gearbox on the right hand side it maybe wet

 

[Speve]

Windscreen scuttle drain most likely

I think it is just a conduit (tube) to protect the wire that is inside it. It looks like it was glued up in position (poorly) and has now fallen down. The water there is just coming off the front of the van and running out/down the mud flap.

My vote is with Andy above. It's an outer conduit pipe to run electrical cables through, just like the one shown in the picture. You can see the end has glue on it so suspect that has detached from somewhere under the floor.
The water may not be connected with the pipe, just run off from elsewhere.

Yes flexi cable conduit

 

[Sunny Girl]

Thanks guys, really helpful
I see the glue now, yes it’s fallen down and must have been attached before.
Hopefully the water is nothing to worry about. It’s dry now.

This is good stuff for fixing things up. Just cut it to length, bend it round and screw back up. Galvanised too

I’ll put it on my shopping list. Many practical items being bought right now! Thank you

 

[pappajohn]

Do you have cab aircon?
If so the water may be coming from there and it will drip at the front and flow back to the wheel area.
The conduit needs fixing back up before it snaggs on something and gets ripped off.

Just a heads up Sunny Girl

You only get a limited number of "free" posts before you have to pay and become a subscriber. It's a very modest £20 a year (discounts for longer membership) and the advice already given might have saved you more that that ...... especially since you need to reattach the conduit before it gets snagged and costs you a lot of money (thanks to pappajohn to highlighting that)

Subscribers get discounts with a number of suppliers and access to more of the site

 

[Figaro]

Glad your problem looks to have a simple fix
