I make this suggestion without a clear mental picture of the fittings you're working with, in the spirit of offering some encouragement.

I had freezing damage once on a trailer's drain manifold with ABS plastic fittings. It was going to be a huge pain to tear them all out to replace about 2" in the middle, so I just goobered (technical term) ABS glue on the crack and it worked perfectly.

You have the same thing going for you in this application: the water is not under much pressure. You also have one additional asset that I didn't have: "Heck, it's only gray water, so a few drips from a leak under the middle of the trailer might be an adventure, but it's probably not an EPA reportable event."
