We have a 2016 Big Country 3650 RL that has a runoff/pressure release valve that is located on the frame, down below the kitchen window. It is continuously dripping and we have no idea what it is from. There are no diagrams available to identify this. Does anyone know what this is for?

If you have an ice maker then it sounds like that is the drain valve. Close it.

2 possibilities. As Cookie mentioned, it could be the residential refrigerator drain valve. If it's dripping, you need to figure out why. You can usually identify the drain valve because the tubing to and from the valve is 1/4" clear poly. There will be a cutoff valve in the kitchen, often located either under the sink, or behind drawers to one side of the sink.

The other possibility is the fresh tank overflow. It's 1/2" PEX tubing that terminates in a 90 degree fitting.

I've attached a couple of pictures that may help.

With the help of those in this thread and a Heartland Rep we found that it is the fresh water tank
overflow. There was a small trickle of water going into the tank. Have to watch now to see if there is a problem at the switch or if it was operator error. Glad we found this now before we hit the road home and had the extra weight of a full tank of water.
