Fixed
Because I could not manage this myself I had my awesome service department at the dealer (Pleasureland in Baxter MN) fix when I had the unit winterized. The mechanic reached around the hot water heater with both arms and blindly reattached the hose from the inside and added a second clamp. I could not see that this was even possible but he managed. I plan to shorten (or eliminate) the rigid portion of fill hose to avoid this in the future. So, did not need a new hose. The fill inlet is higher that the attachment to the tank and so no sagging in hose.
Thanks for all your input. Appreciated. Ann
