If the pipe was black iron I would have no problem. But the pipe is soft drawn copper tubing, hard drawn would have been much better. The walls are thin and copper becomes brittle with age and vibration. You cannot tighten the clamp too tight or you will collapse the walls. I just don't like the idea.
I can see your concern as far as clamping on the soft copper-however NOT attached to it is where explosions can occur, ungrounded any errant ground will create a spark. Our plumbing has a section of black pipe that loops in & out of camper, the main external ground block is attached to it. But I also have 3 soft line ground connections. I assume to insure no isolation of the different runs of copper.
As to the battery box a word I never use comes to mind. Flabbergasted
Even if there was zero electrical components, having wet cell open to inside of camper dumbfounds me. So many reason looking at the pictures, really bad design. Having to look at the big red tags though while cutting the holes in box is almost humorous. geesh
Thread that you hope dealers would read. Some bizarre stuff on our camper the way it was built but it was the dealer installed options that ALL proved problematic.
