How to get access to kitchen drain plumbing in slideout?

Yahoo Message Number: 102195
On our last trip, anything that went down the kitchen drain ended up leaking through the slideout and then the chassis at several points.  There is either a hole in the drain plumbing or the plumbing has become disconnected.  The leak is not under the sink (where access would be easier), but below the stove, where the flexible spa hose reconnects to the ABS pipe (this part of the ABS drain is attached to the chassis, not the slideout).  Probably an easy fix once I get access.  The problem is that this plumbing is behind the toe kick area (which I've removed), and behind (further to the street side) the aft slideout actuator.  The slide actuator is preventing access laterally from the interior, the slideout kitchen cabinets prevent access from the top, the coach floor prevents access from the bottom, and the slideout wall prevents access from the street side.

Does anybody know how to access this plumbing?  Or how to remove the slideout actuator?  I'd like to see if there is a better way than to start cutting out the bottom of the cabinets.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

On my coach,  there is access to the driver's sid e kitchen plumbing in the third bay from the front.  In thag bay,  there is a rectangle "box" attached to the bay ceiling that can be removed with screws. I used a magnetic screw detector to find the screws.  I needed to get in there to run an ice maker water line from a newly installed filter. Your coach is similar to mine.

We had the same issue last week on our 36' '01 Intrigue, but in our case the access was under a cover, under the kitchen sink.  Not easy to get to, but your access sounds worse.  I feel your pain. Don Krahling, traveling in the Canadian Maritimes
