Need some advice please. I am in the process of replacing all the fresh water hoses in ZoeVie. Two issues:
1. Hot water hose from the galley sink to hot water heater. Spliced the new hose to the old hose at the galley sink and pulled the hose from the hot water heater side. Splice came apart and I was left holding the old hose. Cold water hose is still in place. Am I going to have to remove the fridge and stove to gain access to the backside and then run the replacement hot water hose? I would love to just piggy back a new hot water hose to the cold water hose but I don't think that will work.
2. Removal of the drawer frame in the forward berth. Wanting to replace the fresh water hose from the water tank to the galley. I've removed the drawers from the bed and removed what I think are all the screws holding the frame in place. I think there were seven screws. I can get the frame to move around but can't pull it out. Don't want to force it too much. Is there a hidden screw or special trick to getting the frame out?

I took out the water tank a few months ago and took the drawers and the frame out. I only took out the screws holding the frame in and pulled it out no hidden screws or tricks to get it out, it did take some wiggling.

Got the frame out and replaced the hose from the tank. It was 7 screws and wiggling side to side that freed the frame. Thanks for the help

Replacing that hose is on my list of things to do, but I also want to put tank level sensors on the outside of the tank. I'm pretty sure that will require removing the tank from above, because it's sitting against a bulkhead with not enough clearance for the install. There is a cut out in the bulkhead where the hose exits.

I was able to lift the tank enough to attach the level sensors, without removing the tank completely.
