My connection never came apart and I shortened my hose to stop the kinking. The inner fitting should fit into the drain hose with the flat backside facing outward towards the fitting on the sink. That way it will expand the ridged tubing outward.when the plastic nut is tightened. At least that was how it worked in the motor home. The end of the hose being pulled tight by the plastic nut must be a flat square cut across the hose. If the assembly tech cut the hose with an angle to the end, it will never work as designed. Hope this helps you. John

I really wish that I would have taken a picture of that before I put it back together. The hose dose NOT go into the black drain pipe. There is a piece of white plastic that slips into the coily hose, and that is what goes into the black drain pipe. But, that "insert" piece is clearly tapered, which makes no sense to me.
Thinking about it now, one thing that I could do is get some white/black pipe that is the correct size for that drain fitting, and then put it into the coily pipe, and put a gear drive clamp on that, and then it should come out of the drain pipe anymore. The position that the hose is in the picture is in the slid out condition, so that is the longest that the hose should need to be, so I can definitely cut some of the coily hose off for sure.
The question is, do I do all of this myself, or have the dealer half-fix it again, and then I ultimately have to fix it myself???
