Busted gasket that caused a leak ... where can I get this?

We had a leak in our living room in our 5th wheel and I traced the leak back to where the outside water hose connects to the RV. On the inside of the RV, there was a hose that connects and the gasket inside the screw on nozzle has busted (not a surprise since we were camping in CO the other night and it got down to freezing and probably did this).

It's a gasket I haven't seen before and not sure where to pick one of these up...anyone recognize this and were it could be purchased?

Thanks!

You can get that fitting from most Lowes/Home Depot/Ace and etc. You can get a new pex hose and use a Sharkbite coupler(for Pex tubing) to add a new sort piece of hose with the new fitting and reattach and you should b good to go.

Does look like the hose is going to be under a lot of bending stress once it's hooked up. Duster is right..

It's a PEX hose fitting...probably 1/4" piping and made by Watts, Seatech (and others). Don't know the size of the brass, threaded end, but it's a standard RV water inlet (ass'y). Try a Lowes, RV supply or a more dedicated plumbing store for a Watts PEX quick connect fitting and do away with the rubber seal. You'll just push on the fitting to the pipe and screw on the threaded end. You should be able to remove the entire water hose inlet for easier access/repair. Kinda looks in a bind, there are elbows that accomplish the same thing as your straight.

just an example

I'd say you need more than the washer. Remove the entire fitting and hit the big box stores for a replacement fitting. Good chance that there's a hairline crack in the fitting you'll only see when under pressure. If they don't have one like it You should be able to find one that will work.
