Newmar American Star water lines

We recently purchased an American Star and will replace the Aqua toilet with a new thetford 310 when we return next year. My question is what is the nominal size water lines used in these 5th wheels. It is a milky white plastic and looks to be 1/2" OD so I figure it's a 3/8"ID that is used. I'm several hundred miles from the trailer and we had to leave quickly and I never got a chance to check the water line sizes.. The one I'm concerned with is the toilet supply line, it comes straight up out of the floor to the Aqua Magic toilet, and I see the Thetford comes in horizontal so I know I'll have to put in a stop valve and come off of it with a flexable toilet supply line. Thanks in advance.

  • Thank you all for confirming that, it'll save quite a bit of driving to already have everything on hand when I get back out there.

    Thanks Mike
