25DBE, what is this poking through the corrugated plastic?

[twgiambra]

We got a 2024 imagine XLS 25DBE. I was poking around beneath to look for any tiny holes for mice entry when I noticed something poking through. Can someone id what this is? I am guessing something got loose on our trip and fell down, poking a hole in the liner? I would think I could argue this should be a warrantee item (i.e. properly tightened items should not fall, but I'm not sure what it is)? One trip and this happened. This is my first RV and I am not aware of the inner workings of the underbelly. I assume it'd be a bit of work to take down the plastic and see what's going on. As the one picture shows, this is just behind the axles. Pictures attached.
Thank you,

It looks like a cut off wheel from an angle grinder. No idea where it came from or how it got there!

Looks like a cut-off wheel bounced up and embedded. Mobile home underbelly tape will fix the hole.

Is that the sewer hose storage penetrated from the hit?

Can you pull it out? Doesn't really look like a cut-off wheel to me.

I'm not sure how i missed the crack in the sewer hose storage. I'll get back up there (RV is stored about 1/2 hour away) later this week and pull the thing out, not sure why I left it in. I guess from the hole, it's obvious it came from below, not from within the belly. The torn part is pushed up into the underbelly, not the other way around. So this intruder must have come from outside. I'll get some repair tape and once I get the thing out, post pictures. I need to know what it is. Thank you all.

If you have trouble getting repair tape to stick, get a tube of black silicone caulk from a hardware store and put a bead of it along the slit. It'll look the same as factory stuff. Glad that thing didn't hit something more critical; looks like some force was behind it.

Yeah, the grinding/cut off/whatever wheel bounced up into there.
