New 2013 Flying Cloud 30' FB

[TkandTonto]

I am relatively new to rv'ing, and just bought my first Airstream. I absolutely love it and am out on my first trip. Everything is going great, except for one thing I can't figure out and I can't find any information about it. There is a small white pvc pipe coming out of the underbelly just behind the wheels and just forward of the main tank valve. When the toilet is flushed water comes out of this pipe, but it doesn't seem to be sewage. I don't know where the water is coming from and don't know if this is a problem, can anyone help me out with this? Other than that everything is working great! So happy to be part of the Airstream family!

I believe you are looking at the air conditioner condensate drain. Can't explain the water flow when you flush though.

Water flow might be due to shaking of AS and your weight on that side. Is the AS properly level, chocked and stabilized?

[Fly at Night]

Yes, it is the a/c drain.

You will never forget your first trip!

[TkandTonto]

Thanks everyone for your replies. I don't believe it's the air conditioner condensate line, I know where that is and there definitely is water dripping from that. The pipe I'm talking about produces a steady stream of water when the toilet is flushed, the water is clear and doesn't have a smell, so I guess that's a good thing. Also, the AS is level, stabilized and chocked.

Thanks again everyone for your response,
TK

Welcome another Missisippi Airstream owner.
I have no idea what that pipe is, but enjoy your new trailer.
Maybe we'll see you on the road.
Are you signed up for Canopener in January in Florida?

[TkandTonto]

Hi m.hony, thanks. Not signed up for the Canopener, but I'm going to look into it....thanks for the suggestion. Maybe we'll see you out there!

Low point drain maybe? Is there a small handle around the tube that can be turned clockwise or counter clockwise? A picture would help. And, welcome to the Forums

I've got the same tube behind my wheels and in front of the grey tank valve on my 30' FB Bunkhouse. Just like you, every time we flush the toilet there is a steady stream of water coming out of it. Glad to hear we aren't the only ones who are experiencing this.

Congrats on your AS by the way. We've had ours since the end of June and have spent almost every weekend in it along with 9 straight days of vacation ending last Sunday. We love it!

Friday, November 1, PharmGeek should be taking delivery of his new Flying Cloud bunkhouse from Foley.
My wife and I are planning to attend a wedding in Ocean Springs Saturday, November 2.
I haven't picked a campground yet, but was thinking about Big Biloxi.
Maybe we could have a mini rally that weekend.

I thought it might be the low point drain too Greg, but there is no handle to turn.
MiTTco....thanks for posting, I am relieved to know someone else out there is experiencing the same thing. Happy to hear you're loving your AS. We're on our first of what we hope to be many, many outings. Planning a month long trip for October. What a way to travel around and visit friends all over the country, can't wait!

That sounds like a great idea. I'll just be getting back from my October trip so a weekend out at Big Biloxi for a mini rally would be great!

On my 2012 30 ft FC, the low point drain handles are inside under the dinette seat. Under the unit, I only have the white drain tube. This sounds like what you're describing, but don't know why water would be coming out do it.

[Colonial Airstream]

The toilet used on the 30Fb is different than any other production Airstream trailer and is a macerator style. The water may be coming through the macerator vent.

How about just calling the Mother Ship? I'm sure they would be able to help.

We will just be back from our yearly trip to the Magnolia Messenger RV rally in Grapeland, TX. We go about 10-12 weeks in a row this time of year.
This weekend we are going to North Abutment campground again for Balloons Over Grenada.
Next week we are going to George Payne Cossar State Park Yocona Ridge campground.
After that it will probably be every weekend until daylight savings time.
We went just as often with a sob trailer and a tent before that.
