Windshield washer replacement

Our coach has a windshield wiper water squirter fitting mounted on the front of the coach under the windshield.  We were pulling into a campsite today and noticed the hose hanging down with a broken barbed fitting still in it.  Snapped off the unit in the front. 

What works out best to fix this to not come back for another 16 years if possible?

Buffing guy might have hit it.  Seems corroded inside.

Thanks Mark I need one of these.  I broke the other one washing the coach and probably need a couple of spares.

Had the same thing happen while washing coach too.  Bought some stainless ones on-line from here: http://commerce1.cera.net/tacbusparts/sections/catalog/catalog.asp?cat_id=1239  but I don't see the versions I purchased - was several years ago.

I'm going to have to replace the whole set-up. The washer fluid tank just plain fell apart, and I'm guessing that the rest of the system isn't much better. I've got some errands in Buffalo tomorrow, so will stop at O'Reilly's and see what they might have.

'Temporary' fix with a spray can straw in remaining part of washer fitting. Big job to reach the back nut under the dash.

That's what I was wondering about.  Back side of the nut.

David, My washer tank fell apart.  I went to a nearby truck dealer and got a generic tank with washer pump.  I had to modify it to fit.
