2018 Quantum Ws31. I found a corrugated plastic hose that looks similar to wire loom(but isn't ) hanging down under the driver side of the chassis. It was torn in two pieces and appears to go from or past this box back to in front of the rear spring front hanger. It terminates there with a blank closed end. Not open. There are no wires or lines inside. The hose in question is not shown in the pic only the box. The box is attached to the inside of the frame rail on a skid plate/bracket. It is about as far back as the second drive shaft carrier bearing. What is this box and what does the hose do, can I buy a replacement for the broken hose? Are these part of the Ford chassis or the Thor coach?
Thanks

The box you describe sounds like a vapor cannister and the hose you show is a poor fix for what was probably a smell of gas seeping into the coach so they disconnected the cannister.

It wouldn't bother me to just leave it all as it is.

I presume you bought this rv used.
 
Canister looks like Dorman #911380 w/connections at other end
