Hey there. I thought about this all last night. I had a Monacho Class A diesel coach over 25 years ago and now thinking about this, I'm almost sure the black and grey tank lines to the valves may have been heavy rubber hose, like you'd see on a large radiator system on heavy equipment and not ABS plastic. I am not an engineer but seems that over time, any glued piece of rigid plastic pipe may give way at the glue joints due to vibration. If mine go again after repair, I will be doing my own repair using flexible hose rather than plastic pipe. Flexible hose from tank outlets to valves, IMO, would reduce a lot of movement from vibration or flexing since the joint is going to be the weakest part of the discharge lines. Just my opinion.
