Just retired for a week! LOL getting ready to move up and over to Florida NY for a 6 mos workamping gig. Weather has been down right frigid still here in the Pocono area. Will probably just redo per the Nautilis PDF that was sent out. Since i have the new panel i can rebuild at my leisure and swap. I have a pan behind the panel that i attached an overflow hose outside till i can get to it. I have to make sure everything is ready for our travels 1st.....will take pics when i start. If i can i will at least start by end of week.....leaving friday though.....thanks for the ideas. hard to do fancy when full timing.

I have redone most of mine. I still have a few pieces of flex hose to replace, but I have 90% of it converted to PEX or at least the appropriate barb fittings with hose clamps. I went with the plastic manifolds, and it did simplify it quite a bit. This photo is before I reran the waste dump lines, and does not show the pressure tank which I mounted off to the side. Its also before I ran the pump lines.
Definitely won't win me Robs award for neatness, but I am confident it won't have the dreaded rubber hose problem.2018 Reflection 28BH

Done with the Panel. Not really that hard but took my time. The pdf was great to work with.
A couple of observations:
1. measurements on each connection point are not 100% accurate. what i did was go a little longer and did a dry fit with all the fittings to make sure there is no binding on any side of the connections. when they are good i then clamp.
2. the hot connection is a little tight to the next fitting. i had to slightly bend the longer connection so it would not be causing any stress on the next connection or "T" fitting. It will make sense when you do it.
3. The cold was a little more involved. I just went by process of elimination on which length of Pex to put where. IE: 4 points of connection to the panel and 4 Pex cuts the same size. The other lines will actually go under the Cold lines.
Next will be tackling the outside......will probable go Pex all the way from the Hot water side to the panel, but will probably end up using the Pex to barb connections to eliminate the other soft hose and pex fitting issues.

Hi Jim,
Looks Great ! Very much like how I approached my panel rebuild. Sure makes the Kantleak plumbing look simple compared to what you are working with.
WRT sideways pictures . . . I find that if I put them on my desktop, open them, make a small adjustment (like a minor diagonal resize) and re-save them . . . they stay upright when uploaded to the forum site.

Hi Howard,
This is a good addition to the Library. Once it is there, the Library thread should be closed and discussion directed back to the original thread (or a new one in an appropriate discussion section). This keeps the Library posts easy to find. Same as I did for Jamey’s propane testing post. https://www.mygrandrv.com/fo...e-System-Tests

Thank you for sharing this write up. Between your system and clear description of how you built it and replaced the Pex, and Rob's description of his replacement, we have excellent information about our plumbing systems and what can be done to prevent failure and leaks.
