New camper....what are these for?

Got a "new" 2011 Raptor 3812 & had a few things that I have no idea what they are for. There are 3 hose connections & I know one is for the city hookup, another is for the sewer flush, but what is the 3rd one for??

If you have a second black holding tank, the second hookup is the sewer flush for that. The only way to know for sure is to hook a hose up and test it.

If the downward pipe from each valve comes out of the underside of the trailer, they are your low point drains.

If you bought this rig from a dealer, they should have given you a PDI and explained things to you.

I would think that the 3rd hose connection is actually the winterizing antifreeze suction line. At least, that's what it is on mine.

Edit..... Or just like the handle beside it says, it's likely a power fill for your onboard fresh water tank.

That's a tricky one. While I would think that what barbell said to be true by looking at the stickers it just seems weird that the winterizing lever is by the city fill connection and the tank full by the winterizing connection.

If we were going by my last two trailers the city would be on the bottom of the sewer one but I don't have a setup like that.

But it could be city water on top sewer flush in the middle and the lower one is just to fill your fresh water tank.

We're not going by anyone else's camper, or what "could be". We're going by the picture that the OP posted. It is as I replied earlier. Oh, and the 2 "levers" are your low point drains to drain the water from the camper's fresh water plumbing system.

That's set up just like my Fusion. Top is winterizing, middle is city water, bottom is black tank flush. They just put the winterizing sticker in an odd place. Agree that the bottom valves are most likely the low point drains.
