Broken Wiper Washer connection

It was a VERY windy night at Quartzite, and the wind blew my stepladder into the wiper arm, snapping off the little hose off the nipple at the tit. I have a picture of this on my iphone, but since I switched to google photos, I have no idea of how to attach the pic to this post. It really should be easier than it is. However, I am asking if:

Can I get a replacement part ?
Where?
Will I be able to pull the existing part from the coach body ? Is there " slack " behind the connection ??

Te good thing is that it is on the passenger side. Thanks

Glenn,

A couple of suggestions:

Re: getting photos into a post or message on the Forum - I just posted about how to do that in Around The Fire Ring:
How to share photos from Google Photos

Re: the windshield spray fitting on the front of the coach - unfortunately it's not a simple job - but I followed the instructions in this thread provided by Bob McGee (the one with all the photos) and got the job done without a hitch - a rare event for me!

I hope this helps!

Glen, had the same thing happen. I got a plastic double barb that the hose fit on, cut one end off, and epoxied it to the existing part on the front of the coach. Still holding two years later.

When I did the replacement I opted for a metal nipple.  I'm hoping it won't break like the plastic one did - but you never know.
