Can anyone tell me what all these connections on the side of the trailer are used for? What is supposed to be where the electrical plug is hanging out? Also, the seam has come apart in the middle of the skin. Any suggestions on how to perform a short term fix? Attachments:

not sure on most. but the pot metal box with the removable lid is a bargman water fill, it should lead to a water tank inside the camper.

What is on the other side of them? Looks like water has been draining out of that front one  |

The one with the cord should be the electric cord that you will plug into shore power (the outlet on a post in the campground), the others all have to do with water. The one farthest to the front is where you should have a connection for the campground water, where you'd screw on a hose, and the one below it where water has been draining, seems to be missing the fitting for you to connect a drain hose to it. The one highest up looks like a fill spot for an interior water tank. Not sure why that one's there as well as the metal one with the lid. Look inside and see whether it's still got a water tank and which one would be leading into it.

The rear one should be the electrical. The one with the chain is probably city water, the one with the metal cover is tank fill, and I suspect the big open one is an exhaust port, I'm guessing for a heater.

Is that an "exhaust"? It's in the same place as the drain for the kitchen sink in my Compact. And yes, the "rear" one is definitely the electrical, but I can't tell if there's a plug on the end of that dangling wire. Is there?

The top one is a vent cover plate which is broken. The vent pipe is for the water tank. If there is no air coming into the tank, as water is being pumped out via the Pump Faucet, the tank will implode. Much like drinking water out of a bottle and not allowing air back into the bottle.
The Power Inlet is missing. It looks like the electrical cord is "Straight Wired". That needs to be replaced.
As for the seam coming apart, try pushing them back together. You mad need to add a few extra Stainless Screws and secure the skins in place.

Did they used to have sink drains that just came out the side? The reason I was thinking exhaust was because it's so large, and my furnace makes icicles that melt down the side, leaving stains. Admittedly a snap judgement  |
