Where to find RV water line fittings
My TT currently has the crimped on style hoses to all fitings...which means I need to cut out and replace with another type of fitting. Where can I get the fittings and the water line? Maybe my sear...

A 3/8" ratchet w/socket and a clean workplace made it easy to do. I did have the "go-no go" tool but after the first five I put it away. I haven't had a leak. I did use one Sharkbite fitting, from the existing copper supply line near the water heater to the new Pex. I Might have to put a bypass loop in at some time and the Sharkbite fittings are removable.
We just looked at a PEX crimper yesterday at Home Depot - $94.00!
"Only" $25 for the "cheapie" one that you need to use a pair of vice grips with. Horribly expensive when the manufacturer of your brand new TC screws up a crimp fitting and ya don't discover it until your are 5 hrs. from the dealer :) And if you need the tubing it comes in 25' rolls... when you only need a 6 inch piece.
Well Home Depot only had two PEX crimpers. When I asked the sales guy he showed me the $94.00 ones and then the $25.00 ones that had no handles - you had to use your own vice grips as the handles. So that's what I reported on... the 2 choices my local HD offered.
