was crawling under my Roo 233 the other day and saw 2 hoses (1 red 1 blue) that came out thru the floor near the rear of the trailer directly under the outside shower. What are they for?
thanks

Possibly red-hot water; blue-cold water?

These should be the low point drains. There should be valves up inside the body, you'll have to track them down as they're useful for draining the water system for winterization.

These are ours, but are in a different location than yours. They're T-valves with a short hose sticking out the bottom of the trailer. They're in the flow position.

Yes as Chuck stated these are the low point drains. In the 233 the valves are located in the cabinet area below the side bunk. Open the last cabinet door toward the rear and look past the partition and under the duct you will see 2 white valves. These are for draining for winterizing why yours are colored I don't know mine are both clear as it shows in chuck's picture and protrude through the floor.

You may have caps on the ends that just screw off like mine do.

Mine are black valves connected to the red and blue rigid water lines. The hoses that lead to the underbelly from the valves are clear with white braiding for reinforcement. I imagine there were changes sometime around then...

That is the low point drain. On our 06 233 they were red and blue also.

Those are low point drains and ours are red and blued. Rather than the "twist" valves, ours has simple pull (up down) values that are the same as on the holding tank drain.
