Recording apparatus

A recording apparatus comprising:

• a main housing;
• a liquid ejecting head which is provided in an inner section of the main housing and which ejects a liquid with regard to a target;
• a liquid container section which is provided on an outer section of the main housing;
• a container casing where the liquid container section is contained;
• a first liquid supply tube where one end section side is connected to the liquid container section;
• a second liquid supply tube where one end section side is connected to the liquid ejecting head side;
• and
• a connection member which connects the other end section sides of the first liquid supply tube and the second liquid supply tube,
• wherein the connection member is configured by a first connection section which is provided on the first liquid supply tube side and a second connection section which is provided on the second liquid supply tube side,
• at least the first connection section of the connection member is entirely positioned outside of the liquid container section and positioned at an inner section of the container casing which is provided at the outer section of the main housing, and
• an opening is formed in the main housing so that at least the first connection section of the connection member is exposed inside the container casing, and the position of the opening is set so that the opening is at a position so as to expose toward the outside of the container casing when a cover for the container casing is removed.
