I can see why the coupling may have failed to begin with.  It looks like the factory-installed elbow assembly doesn't align particularly well with the shower fitting.  Hopefully the PVC will take the stress better.

The poor alignment problem is apparently a common one. I repaired a fellow RV'ers new Allegro bus a couple of years ago with the same problem. Since I had more access, I was able to drop the trap a inch or so and install a rubber link to reduce the stress.

We are at Topsail Hill State Park - Gregory Moore Campground (Santa Rosa Beach - near Destin). For years this has been one of our favorite places to stay. We are here two to three times per year. Lacey's was working on several RVs in the campground today.

Thanks again for all of the advice.

Bill,
We normally stay in Navarre, but we went to look at Topsail, are the bugs as bad as they seem there?
How far in advance do you book?

The bugs aren't too bad, but we have them here. We booked this stay about six months ago. They are completely full and currently have no availability until late August. A very popular place, and very nice if you are looking for a beach trip.
