Steel and copper makes electro-corrosion, who might not act very fast, but it will be time bomb. Brass has copper in it, so on smaller scale will do the same.
I am big fan of copper plumbing. With copper tubings you can go smaller size than plastic, while still having the same flow.
I was restoring 1964 Airstream TT with copper, few years ago and just for the test, hook it up directly to 150 psi city water.
The plumbing hold it just fine. But the aluminium toilet pedestal turned into dust.
I was debating copper as well, the catch is I need to be able to get it in a threaded format so I can put it together (Ergo why 99% of the camper's plumbing is going to be PEX, with a dash of PVC on the city inlet line for the blow out connection.
Ideally, I'd love to run all chromed pipe along the wall, but that has the same issue, finding threaded pieces that will work.
I'm figuring that what's most likely going to happen is the braided stainless steel water lines.
