3895 black tank pipe rub

I should if snapped a pic, but I was going to wait till I changed it. While changing out my valve stems I noticed that the black water pipe is too close to my spring and hangers. Back tire. As the axles move up and down with road conditions it rubs. Two spots wearing on the pipe. I only mention so others may want to check there's. Might find yourself in a stinky situation.

Mine did it third time out. Dealer wasn't surprised and agreed to reroute plumbing if I brought it to Denver. Needless to say I did a temp fix myself.

I just checked mine and I have about 1 inch of Clearence in that area. No sign of it ever hitting. After driving on these California roads I don't think it ever will.
Thanks to this forum for keeping us aware of potential problems.

It's only been a problem with mine when forced into extreme tight turns.
