Always use a pressure 'regulator' preferably a good quality adjustable one like Watts Brand.
Set the regulator for 50 psi (static...no flow) and you will be good to go.

With the regulator in place no worries..........50# MAX regardless.
Note: RV pumps have discharge pressures between 45-55#
PEX is great.....fittings etc. so-so
