I have been rebuilding my 73 23 footer. The original water piping was copper and wandered up over the ceiling and all over. To replace I felt that PEX would be best. However PEX does not bend around tight corners very well so one needs to use lots of joints with the "shark" connections. From experience I knew that if there was to be any breakage it would be at a joint, more joints more opportunity for a failure. My solution....... use a flexible reinforced plastic pipe with every fixture connected directly to a manifold, one for hot and one for cold. No joints except at the manifold and at the fixture. (Some call this home run plumbing) Made sure that the 2 manifolds were accessible and the clamp fittings all had their tightening threads easy to tighten.
Just my solution to plumbing in extremely tight spaces.
