After much searching (they were out at Ace Hardware and Home Depot), I found a 3" rubber coupling at Lowes that I thought had a chance of working.

I got back to the RV and loosened the clamps as much as possible and after some effort I was able to get it around the pipe coming off the black waste tank. I already knew that it would fit on the drain pipe going to the valve as I was able to bring that with me to the store. Looks like I have my solution. I have 2 more clamps so I will install one more on each end of the connections and I think I should be good. I'll water test it to be sure but this must be how it was designed to be connected (rather than ABS glue which would make it a permanent connection).
I'll try to get a picture of the final connection to upload here.
