When I am away from my RV for more than just a daily excursion, I turn the water off at the spigot, and turn the pump off. It is simple, and if I do get a leak, damage is mitigated.
I do like the idea of a manifold, but the more connections, the more likely leaks will happen, especially with all the vibrations that RV plumbing has to deal with.
I'd upgrade to PEX though. There are many different ways to add fittings onto it. I'm partial to ProPEX, but the tool is not cheap to expand the fitting ring and the pipe. Flair-It fittings seems like a decent compromise, especially if one isn't doing professional plumbing.
