That would be awesome if that actually worked! I have been struggling for two days on this exact issue. I cannot gain enough room between the flanges (short about 3/16" to 1/4", about the height of the lip on one of the flanges) and built myself a pry tool to pry one side while crowbarring the other side. Finally broke down and called a mobile rv repair, waiting for him to show up.
They seriously need some kind of easily replaceable flexible coupling in there, I would rather replace that every year than deal with this every 10 years!!!
*EDIT* BTW, there is not enough piping for me to cut out a 1" section (or 1/2" for that matter) to put a rubber connection in there! The pieces they used to mate the fittings together were barely long enough for the mating surfaces.
