What are these RV hose clamps?

I have been to the Winnebago factory in Forest City, Iowa and they do a lot of the install without the body on. I have had to cut things out and then modify how I install the replacements.

Find a good plumbing supply place, and they can hook you up.

I use micro flush cutters to tear it apart, by unraveling them

Ordered a PEX crimper that will do 1/2, 3/4 and 1 inch and two dozen assorted clamps from Amazon for $32. 25' of 1/2" tubing at HD for $8 so I'm good.

If I can fix a leak in a 3 year old RV for $40 and an hour or two of work, I'm delighted.

All buttoned up. Used the PEX tool and pressure tested everything, no leaks. Yeah the toilet dribbled between it and the blackwater tank. Pain in the ass to fix, the blackwater tank seems to have been installed before they put the exterior siding on. But I'm done. At least I got to see where my water pump, etc. is located. Also, as long as I was "in there" I ran a cable for the Direct TV to the far right of the enclosure so I don't have to run it through the window anymore.

Nice work, congrats!

You are 100% correct. I have to remind the trophy bride that if a cabinet doesn't close right, don't keep slamming it. I may need to tighten a hinge or latch screw or stick a few toothpicks into the hole with glue for the soft wood.
