Help! Black Tank Flush Vacuum Breaker Leak

2016 X23F.

I had noticed some water in the floor of the cabinets under the side bed and I have determined through creative use of a cell phone camera that the vacuum breaker / anti syphon / check valve / whatever you call it is leaking when I flush the black tank. Thankfully it's all clean water.

I have no idea how I would access this thing, as it is buried in a corner and I don't see any easy way to get into the area. It seems all of the panels were attached from the inaccessible side, probably as the trailer was built.

I can see it if I remove the cover over the rear electrical box where the 120V line comes in and stick a camera in there aiming toward the rear left (sewer side) of the trailer.

Any ideas how I can service this thing?? I was thinking maybe remove the outside shower which seems like it might get me access? Any other ideas?

Depending on what wall it's behind, you could cut an "access" panel? If it's in an inconspicuous place, that might work...?

Just get creative. I had to access a space that wasn't designed to be accessed. I had to pop staples on a cabinet bottom, then pop staples on blank panel. Got to what I needed. Left blank panel off and found a cabinet door(had to modify). This made easy access for any future problems and gave me some storage I didn't have before.
Look around and be creative.
