Been wondering what this is. It's on the left rear corner and sort of looks like a Schrader valve. It's the piece just above the awning mount.

Thoughts?

I don't know. Some previous owner installed it, whatever it is. But I would get up there with a ladder for a close look. Maybe pull on the chain. Take it apart somehow... Unscrew it... Put air pressure in it with a hose, maybe it would inflate the bus? Maybe there is a manual for it that the previous owner left you?

I had one when we bought the coach. It was an old Telephone antenna mount. You unscrewed the cap and then screwed on the car antenna for the phone up front. Now gone. Chain just holds the cap. ;)

Makes sense. Like some remnant of ancient days...

DON'T TOUCH IT!!!  lostagain was right. I put air pressure to mine and my bus blew up like the Good Year Blimp and flew away. Had to buy another bus.   ;D

Could also be just for a cable connection

Thats where they fill it with conversion fluid, By Gosh dont mix with the wrong kind.

Like Dave said, an old style UHF RF marine
radio phone/car phone coaxial cable for antenna. If there's an 1/8" hole and a chrome like exterior with alligator teeth around the edge. Still used in TV for wireless microphones  and transceiver, lvmci...

Are you sure that's not where they put blinker fluid?
