Jay Flight Dripping Unberbelly Drain

2011 Jayco Flight Swift 198RD. Woke up this morning with the pad very wet. There are two drain hoses in-between two tires on the left side of the trailer.
One of them runs when we use water in the toliet or the sink it is fresh water. These are not the fresh water tank or low point drains. Does anyone know where these drains go?

Thanks Mark

Might be the fresh water tank overflow tubes? I think the fresh tank is above the axles in that model. Is your fresh tank close to full when this happens?

That's it!!!! The Tank is actually in back but that the issue. Pumped off a few gallons and no more dripping.. Thanks!! Now the magic question is I arrived with 10 gallons of fresh and now 5 weeks later on city water, I have a completely full fresh water tank?

Sounds like the check valve at the water pump is cracked open just a bit. Try cycling the pump a few times. If that does not work, you may have to pull the pump and clean the check valve.

I had the same issue on my Octane. Running the pump would fix it for a while, then the fresh tanks would overflow again. I replaced the pump (thought it was the same one that was in it), but that pump does not work as good as the old one. Surges, and you get hot, then cold water. Not sure you can get just the check valve. Fortunately, all you're doing is watering the grass around you RV site...:-)
