plumbing leaks in outdoor kitchen

We have a '16 257BHS with an outdoor kitchen. The cabinet that the sink is in slides out about 2 feet. I notice that the flexible hose fittings connecting to the faucet water supplies become loose when sliding in and out due to the flex in the hoses causing rotation of the hose nuts
. Do you think thread locktite might solve the issue with the fittings loosening? Also, the sink drain also has a flexible line going to the abs fittings for the grey water connection. I found the hose had pulled out at the fitting aqain due to the flex when sliding in and out
. I am looking for a more robust connection at both the p-trap and the abs hard line instead of the sliding fitting with lock nut found on normal sink drains.

Any suggestions?

It seems like they would have made the hose long enough that it had a loop in it so it could be pulled out like a refrigerator in a house. I left a couple loops of copper behind the house frig and it can be slid out without straining anything. But then, it would have cost a dollar or two more.

I'd clamp the hoses, providing strain relief so the fittings can't loosen.
