Thanks guys , I will convert it to pex. But for now I will do all the open areas up front going to water heater etc and then adapt it to the quest. Then just before winter I'll start digging out the quest in the back of the trailer and have it fully converted.

Aw come on Larry - I don't agree with that at all - have you ever even tried it yourself or are you just making a comment of what you THINK it might be???
The head of the compound crimper is pretty small and I have gotten it into some extremely tight confines...

Yes, I have. When I redid my low point drains I actually bought the PEX tool and couldn't get it on the lines inside the enclosed underbelly w/o removing the underbelly completely since the factory drains are just forward of the axle and the underbelly is one continuous piece. Also, to remove the underbelly I would have to remove all the LP gas lines that run outside the underbelly. Also, I couldn't get the tool to fit over 1/2 the PEX connections just around my WP compartment below with the jaws opened. There might be some pricey PEX crimpers that would work, but IMHO it's still iffy in some of these really confined spaces.
