There are any number of those "slip" fittings where the tube goes into a sort of plastic thing and is then gripped and for some reason does not leak - they work. Some of them do not even need to be tightened up with a threaded nut thing - they just push in and hold - in fact I think one brand is called "Push". First you need to get the old one out. The guy with the cowboy hat is named Martine. There is also a German mechanic in the park named Horst. If all else fails you can try to find one of the 6 or so Zertuche locations around Guad - they are huge and have every kind of fitting - I can map you to the biggest one that has the most stuff - you would have to go up the road north from Chapala. Good luck with Home Depot. If I understand this correctly the part you need is all plastic and would not involve welding - I only mention the welder in Joco because he is a great guy and will either help or send you to someone who can help. A couple years ago I had an air leak in an airbag where the fitting screws in and he fixed it right up and charged a few pesos. There are guys around there who are great - not RV specific guys but guys who know how to figure stuff out.
