Hooray for Shark Bite fittings...
All of the plumbing in our 24' Nexus Class C is Pex. After 9 years once of the fittings on the feed line to the toilet developed a small leak. I'm guessing that there was a little bit of water left ...

My Itasca uses Flair-it fittings on the PEX lines. They are fairly inexpensive, easy to use (no tools required), and quite effective. I carry a couple of straight couplers, a couple of elbows, a couple of T's, and a couple of end caps; although I have yet to actually need any of them. The few leaks I've had required nothing more than a hand tightening.

My most used fitting for emergency repairs is the in-line valve. It can be used as a connector, an end cap, and of course as a valve.
