Freelander city water inlet repair problem

my 2010 coachman freelander has an inset box where the city water inlet is, along withe the switches that you set for fill / pump / city water. The one way valve is defunct,and I am trying to change the inlet. However, the hose on the inside has a "Steamboat Willy's shipwheel" type plastic connector that prevents pulling the hose through the opening. I removed the four square-head screws and tried pulling out the box to get behind it, but it doesn't come out far enough to accomplish that. I'd post a photo, but I don't see how to post an attachment here. Anyone know how to get this done?
  • This is as far as I can get the box to come out. I considered removing the screws holding the black flip valves in place, but loosening them didn't indicate a solution, and if I take them out, I'm not sure I'd be able to get them back in place, so I haven't taken that step yet.

    BTW: is there a way to attach a photo on this forum? It would make things a lot clearer if I could.

  • and I assume there is no access to the rear through an interior opening or from underneath?
