There were 3 fittings that made the transition from the braided hose to the hard green plastic. I finally got to talk to Tracy on Friday - he confirmed that they used the push on fitting for the hard line and it was a problem on several coaches. Correct fitting was a 5/8" compression with a male 1/2" NPT. We thought we had it at Lowes, but they were made in china and beat up. Returned that, and went to ACE hardware - The one in Titusville was the biggest I've ever seen and had exactly what we needed. We had been leaning toward a barbed fitting 1/2" IO to 1/2 NPT, but we couldn't find a 5/8" band clamp. 1/2", 3/4" but no 5/8"
Got the fitting on today - Al is a wizard after all the work he has done on his beautiful 2003. No leak at all when we were done. We had to cut off about a 1/2" of the plastic line - the original install also included an angled 2-3 degree cut for the push-on that was part of the problem. not a nice 90 degree
