Cool Denali 289RKS hose disconnected

Hi folks,
New guy here having an issue with my newly acquired 2012 denali 289rks. I would greatly appreciate any help offered. My issue.... when I connect the city water it goes into the water line fine but comes out of a hose disconnected under the black tank. The city water line runs the length of the camper and goes under what appears to be the base of the shower. It then connects into an elbow with other lines. After the elbow, it comes down on a run of about 6 feet then makes a 90 to a 3 foot piece where it's disconnected and lying in the belley over the corregated material. I have cut the material in several places, but for the life of me I cant seem to locate the source nearby. Any idea where this reconnects?

I would close off that line. Then look for a place you should have water and don't. Or is this the low point drain for fresh water.

Can you take a photo and post it.....?????.....it does sound like a low point drain.

Does the water "leak" near where your bathroom would be? If so check lower cabinets for a valve that is open...

When I turn on the city water it works it way to the end of this line and exits. Shower will not pressurize. I can try a pic shortly.

First pic orange rod is sticking thru the shower floor base. The next photo shows the far line being the one of concern. (closest line blk tank flush) Last pic shows line end disconnected under the blk tank. There was no cut in the floor beforehand. Pics apparently pending until approved...

Sounds like something might have been modified by a previous owner. There is nothing in front of the shower that would have a water line. My water pump is in the rear cabinet by the kitchen sink. I have heard of some of the water pumps being installed under the bathroom sink, maybe you should open up the bathroom access and see if your pump is under there. Could this be a line the goes from the pump to the water system?
My Fresh water tank drain is located under the belly close to the black tank, the city water line shouldn't be connected directly there.
Have you tried filling up your fresh water tank and run on your pump to see if the line is still leaking? This might help with some troubleshooting.

Also my low point drains are located outside under the kitchen sink, could the line be a low point drain? If so, just cap it off.

One my 289 I have three capped of lines, low point hot and cold and the fresh water tank drain. Check and make sure you have all three capped.

When you get your pictures uploaded, it would help us all help you!

again, thanks for the replys. Eric, I have 3 exposed drain lines I can see. One appears under freshwater tank(white) and the other two under the kitchen sink area(one red one white). Yes my water pump is under the sink to the right. Let me know on the pics. The orange rod location is under the shower where it elbows together and heads towards the line in question.

From the pic it looks like a hot water line. You might want to check the faucet connections.

That's just PEX tubing so you can get all kinds of fittings for PEX at Lowe's or Home Depot or maybe even ACE.
