Pipes: Looks like a previous owner had a spare tire carrier added and I would
suggest the pipes were there to anchor more stuff to. It is generally not a good
idea to add weight like that to the back end of a coach.
Front Passenger side: That is most likely the fresh water storage tank fill.
Pipes under the coach: Those are undoubtedly sewer hose storage pipes.
Another shot of the aforementioned: Yes, try to replace it
Driver side, on the belly: That is likely the fresh water storage drain. That
and the fill suggest you have a pressurized water system, which is to say you
should find a small air compressor that forces water about with air pressure.
Vent for the furnace: Yes, it is.
It appears the sewer plumbing as been modified in the past. The plastic pieces I
believe I seen are not expensive and should be available at most RV parts
outlets
