Actually, if you just have a piece of hose 'hanging out' the bottom of the
van, it may be a PO modification. On my westy (an '85), there's a plastic
fitting that passes through the floor of the Van. There's a screw-on cap on
the bottom of this fitting (outside the Van), and a length of hose from the
sink to this floor fitting on the inside of the Van.
