Help needed with toilet water connection

Good evening everyone,

My wife and I are nearing the end of a major interior renovation in our Arctic Fox 26J travel trailer. My problem is, I installed a new Dometic 310 porcelain toilet and the fresh water connection will not bend enough for the connection (see Picture). I cut the wallboard behind it to raise the level that it comes out of the wall but there is a stud running 2X2 running horizontally just above it. The hose is extremely stiff and will not make the bend to the connector. Do they make 90-degree elbows so I can connect 2 of them to lower the entry height? I don't really like that idea because of the multiple failure points but it will be the easiest. Is there some kind of flexible hose I can connect to the semi-rigid hose that will have the same connectors? I'm not sure if there is there is enough room for that. Is this connection a standard plumbing fitting? Any other suggestions?

Thanks,

Frank

    Yes. Most RV plumbing is standard 1/2 Inch IPT thread, You can get elbows at Lowes, Sears, Joe's plumbing, Ace Hardware, They all fit.

    You can also get very flexible hose (Has a braided steel jacket) and do the loop-de-loop with it. Same source list.
    NOTE: Joe's plumbing is Generic name for any plumbing or hardware palce.
