Mine 3" black pipe is exposed in the front storage compartment. It forms a 45degree turn directly under the toilet then another 45 (back to verticle) directly over the black tank. If I had to remove mine, I'd use a saw, cut the "diagonal pipe" near the middle, then on reinstallation, I'd use a PVC/ABS union to cement it back together. I suppose the rubber may work, but I'd be concerned with the vibration in an RV that the screw clamps would work loose and I'd wind up with a "black water leak" in the front storage compartment. I'd prefer that everything having to do with the black tank and its contents be "permanently cemented in place" with no chance of a leak from something slipping loose.....
