pulled the electrical outlet. It’s right there like you said. Thanks a lot for the photos!
I don’t have the USB outlet there, so I’ll put an access on it. I’m thinking a vent because I’d like to keep that area heated in the winter. If not a small door with a nice handle.
Thanks again for the help!

Not the best setup that's for sure. But things being what they are, you have to go outside to turn any of the valves in any of the Nautilus systems. I always install a hose splitter ("Y") with shutoffs at the campground water source just for that reason... to bleed of the pressure in the line when disconnecting my hose for any reason. Helps it to keep everything dry up at the Nautilus panel. But still there should be no reason to have to relieve the pressure prior to turning off any valve.

I think this would be the correct replacement depending on the flush mount not being a big problem.

That definitely looks like it would work. You might have to put a short nipple in the top two ports to give yourself something to mount it with.

You’re welcome. Glad it’s working out for you. Good idea by another poster to use a razor knife and straight edge; the panel is wafer thin.
It would be nice if Grand Design put access openings for areas like this where it’s difficult to reach things. Oh well, gives us something to do I guess2010 Tundra SR5 DC 5.7L 4x4

I have a Y fitting. I used it on my old rig for filtered water. Makes sense to use that for the pressure. I usually unscrew to tap end of my hose just enough to have the pressure drop when I’m ready to pack up. I use these shrink hoses, they take no space and expel all water when shrinking and dry quickly, I love them, but you need to real careful or you’ll get totally wet if you take it completely off and drop it. It’ll jump around like a snake.

Upon de-winterizing, I discovered that the hot water connection to the outside spray port had become disconnected. For the life of me, I can't figure out how that connection is supposed to go together. It appears that you just slide the plastic L tube into the tightening nut onto the back of the spray port. However, there isn't anything that pulls it tight so I am not sure how it stays in. I have attached a picture that shows the parts.
Is there someone more knowledgeable than me that can shed some light on how these fitting go together. Thanks

Looks like the black twist nut is broken. The black ring shown in your photo appears to have broken out from the inside back of it. The hole should be a little smaller than the white elbow collar. Maybe it was over tightened at the factory?
See if you can get them at Home Depot/Lowe’s etc. I think you’ll also need to take the white elbow off (remove the crimp) so you can slide the new nut over it. You might also pick up some seals too, here’s a link:

These were an exact fit on my 2020 22mle.
Edit to add that the seals come as a 10 pack.2010 Tundra SR5 DC 5.7L 4x4

I agree that the black nut needs to be on the "backside" of the lip on the L connector. However, the black nut is not broken or cracked and even if I took the connector elbow out you wouldn't be able to slide the nut over it due to the support piece of plastic at the right angle of the connector. I think that the factory ran out of the correct hardware and used these pieces. They stayed together due to a little friction initially. We had only used the camper a couple of times before I winterized it and we never used the outside spray port until I ran antifreeze through it last fall.
It is still a mystery to me. GD has told me they are sending a new part so it will be interesting to see how it is put together.
