Dometic frig "oops" - need help ASAP!

Checking the frig unit tonight on the ROO that is waiting for a new home, and that plastic condensation drain line has gotten dry and brittle. DH just touched it and "oops"....that's not really what he said....but does anyone know what's involved in replacing/repairing this thing??? Please tell me it's a 10 minute job and costs next to nothing. Oh, he's soooo not happy about this. Help!!!

    When that happened to me I took a piece of the old white tube down to the local hardware store. They found a brass union that would fit remaining tubing on the back of the frig and clear tubing.

    Take the access panel off, put the union on the remaining white tube, put some clear tubing on the other end and thread through the access panel as you're reattaching it. Mine has been like that for about 5 yrs.

    If you decide to replace the entire tube, it starts right behind the drain tray in the frig. Be sure it has a chance to cool off.
