We used either the Valterra Dominator or Viper hoses on our 2001 Adventurer for over 12 years with no problems. The key is to tilt the coupling to start one of the bayonets through the smaller section of the hole first. It took a few try's to get used to it, but once you get the pattern down it only takes a few seconds to thread it through the hole.
The Rhino Flex may be a different story, however there are solutions available. Some people use this short section of hose and connect to the larger hose outside the cabinet.

I would caution you not to modify the floor of the cabinet to get the hose through. The cabinet has a flange built into the floor that adds strength. If the flange is cut the floor will become flexible and eventually crack.
