I am clueless on this. I crawled under the motor home and I see we hoses but don't know what these particular hoses are doing or where they start.
These are pictures from underneath. All are from between the entrance step and the generator.

I see a few hoses that are wet but no obvious start of the leak.
I am assuming its anti freeze because it's green. I don't see how it could be from the generator so my next assumption it is hosed used to run hot water around under the coach.
Can anyone tell me what the bundle of hoses in the pictures is?
I have one picture from the front of the coach that shows two of those hoses in a T fitting.
Ideas?
Matt,
A little hard to get prospective on the pictures, but looks like that may be below the heater core.
Turn on ignition (no need to start coach).
Turn on dash HVAC fan and select heat.
Coolant smell???
Could possibly be from the Aquahot dash heater, isn't that typically green antifreeze?
And is the Aquahot separate from the engine heater for the dash?
Thanks for the suggestions. I think you both may have a point that its not a hose leaking. I tried just turning the key on and didn't get a strong smell of antifreeze but its not leaking much at this point either.
This weekend I will open up the dash a bit to try and see what is going on. I found a post showing where it is and it seems like a good place to start.
My aqua hot antifreeze is red and yes it I believe it is separate
This picture is on the passenger side through the generator door.
Is this the loop that feeds the heater core?

Before I tear the dash apart to get the heater core out I want to test by just looping the heater core input so no more fluid gets there.
If the leak stops I will know where the issue is.
Those are heater hoses. You see the control valve to open and close the flow amount.
If i loop those two hoses will it hurt anything other than making the dash heat stop.
My opinion
By looping hoses to bypass heater core will cause no issue. In doing so. You still are allowing the flow of fluid to follow path. If it were summer. Then we could touch on loss of possible increased heat loss in an emergency situation when trying to get as much heat out of coolant to lower overheat condition.
Remember a radiator shop can rebuild heater core. Or recommend replacement core.
Auto/truck salvage yards are good hunting grounds for heater cores. Newer year the better as older could have fluids sitting in one part of core doing damage.
Anyone with a core sitting around to take measurement off could save you tremendous time finding replacement if none repairable.
You may want to put a tube inside each hose to form splice. Then pipe clamps to lock down. Use 4 clamps if you have. A pex splice fitting should work for splice. I think a shark bite wouldn't work because of thickness of hoses. But!?.
You can pick up a plastic barbed connector at any parts store. They are cheap. Pipe sometimes tends to leak..IMOP.

Thanks guys
OK back to the drawing board. The pictured hoses were AquaHot not dash heat. Going back under her tonight to try and find the dash heater hoses.
