toilet plumbing

Question

I need some advice from all you would be or actual plumbers.  I have to replace the toilet in my toyhauler.  The water supply from old toilet goes along the front storage compartment has a 90 degree elbow then goes through the wall.  On the other side(toilet side)the pipe protrudes about 2"-3" and threads straight into the toilet. The new toilet water inlet is off to one side and further from the wall. The existing pipes are pex.  If anyone has advice on the cheapest/easiest way to move the pipes I am all ears. I would be willing to drill a new hole through the wall if necessary.  I've heard chatter about all types of fittings etc. so info about that is important.  I don't know if it matters but I am going from a Thetford aqua magic style II to a Dometic 310. Thanks in advance

I would use a sharkbite fitting and steel braided feed to the toilet.

If you have room, leave what's there, use a 1/2 x 1/2 male elbow and a stainless 1/2 x 1/2 faucet hookup.

Install onto the existing PEX pipe, outboard of the wall, a fitting. Attach a valve to the pipe fitting. Attach a flexible braided supply hose to the valve and to your toilet.

They should have one OEM.

Thank you folks. I used a shark bite elbow with a steel braided hose from there. It worked excellent. Thanks for the advice
