Fresh Water Tank Overflow Hose

The hose is leaking near the tank.
How can the connection at the tank be accessed?

I just pulled the covered panels and I saw the connection. I changed mine and made it go below the bulkheads.

Upon removing the panel the black and gray tanks are accessible. The water tank is behind the furnace.

Pretty tough to access that area. Removing the water pump and accumulator tank would give you a little room. You might also consider accessing it from the adjacent compartment. On some rigs there is a round hole which can be enlarged for access.

Make it a total project and pull the water heater ( to get to overflow ) replace the 110 sensors on the w heater, rinse the sediment out of water heater ,  add flex lines to accumulator tank, add your see level strips to fresh water tank and maybe switch the overflow to draining below the water bay instead of bulkhead.   

 While your in there that is , I don't think you'd regret it.

The round access hole was large enough to reach the hose. It had a hole in it six inches from the tank. Thanks for the information.
