I had the same issue. I got a repair kit from Escape which included a new coupling,pipe,sealant and rubber slice pipe . Adding the rubber slice takes off the pressure on the solid pipe which causes the problem . There is no flex in the piping where as the tank flexes with weight.

I had the same problem with my 2019 5.0. ( bad fittings ) all 4 of mine were broken. Escape provided parts and instructions for the repairs. The hard part is removing the
broken fittings without damaging the tank.

you say all 4 fittings on your 5.0. I can only find the kitchen sink, the bathroom and the outlet. what is your 4th connection that broke. I am currently working on the kitchen one and having issues with the clearance from the fitting to the cabinet being very tight.

The 4th will be the 1.5" vent line that comes out the top of the tank. Its prone to shearing off right at the threads flush with the tank. In our E19 its located in the wall behind the bathroom. I'm not sure about a 5.0. Three of the four fittings were broken in our E19.

I'm not sure if you're referring to inside the cabinets being tight or below the trailer being tight. If its the latter, I used a 1.5" flex elbow and custom short PVC fittings to accomplish the connection. I also used a 1.5" flex coupling in the vertical piping section above the floor in the cabinet to give an extremely flexible solution.

Look in this thread, post #42 for my pictures of the 90deg flex in the kitchen sink drain under the trailer.
