The safest thing to do would be to drop the tank and check all connections. It could be the fill hose, that's probably one of the only connections not on the top of the tank, I believe.

Had the exact same problem in my 2001 Sunseeker. Found the evap hose that runs along the filler pipe was routed under the fill pipe, also was dry rotted. Could not figure out how to fix without dropping black tank. Took to my local mechanic and he was stumped but suggested pulling the entire fill tube and evac out the side of the RV. He replaced both with brand new lines and it cost me $100. Leak gone runs great.
