We just filled up our water tank for the first time. A small stream of water is coming out of a small hose underneath however.

I assume this hose is for draining the RV for winterizing.

Does anyone know how to stop this? We're going to use the fifth wheel so don't want the water to drain. For now, I bent the hose so it stops draining the water.

Does this hose need a cap? Perhaps a switch somewhere?

Thanks!

IMO, that's the main drain for the fresh water tank. Nearly all low point drains are red and blue. I'd take the wire off, cut the hose shorter and add an on/off valve.

IF that's actually the tank drain, I'd want a valve above the floor, next to the tank, (as mine is) rather than crawling under the RV to drain the tank.
As far as the low point drains, mine are plain white PVC with caps.

Fresh water drain caps are sometimes stashed inside the outside access to water heater. Open that panel and see if there is a random cap lying in there.
