2016 34T Bounder black tank inlet pipe

Can anyone help with the joint at the black tank inlet coming from the toilet? I have a leak right at the connection to the tank. I don't see how you can access the area to repair. I took off the panel above propane tank and there is know way I am small enough to access the joint.

I hired my then 13 YO grandson. Best $20 plus lunch I ever spent. I think he is now too broad in the shoulders to get in there now. But he still has monkey arms so maybe if it happens again...

Mine popped out trying to get the hose off the vacuum pump. Learned the lesson to use a hair dryer to soften the hose now.

Truthfully I assembled an assortment of bars, 2X4 and whatever else I thought might work to pry in back in place.

Wish I had a better answer!

Thank you for your responds. I ended up getting a technician we both worked on the pipe for a couple hours and finally got it in place. I wedged several shimmies up on top of the pipe to hold in place. Really a poor design by Fleetwood.

Glad you got it fixed.

After I read your post I asked the grandson if he thought he could do it again, He paused a second then said "I don't know, I've grown a lot since then. Why?" Told him I was thinking about hiring him out. He wasn't too impressed with the idea.
