I blame those on a keyboard malfunction. The C is just to the right of the X on the keyboard, so the keyboard is at fault.  Wink

To clarify the plumbing in rPods is half inch PEX tubing. PEX is great to work with and the most common plumbing system used these days. You can get push on fittings (Sharkbite is one brand) or you can get clamp fittings and a clamping tool. Either are available at any big box hardware place.

Greetings:
Find a local RV dealer.  They should have them.  I found them at mine.  They are inexpensive so buy a few to have.  It's pec pipe, a Home Depot, or Lowes might have them.

I appreciate the suggestion of drain valves which I would consider but I travel during freezing weather and any piping extended and exposed to the elements is subject to freezing. My drains are tight up against the underbelly board to lessen the chance of ice up that is why I use the caps.

Just put on some shut off valves.

Don't know that, but I went to Menard's and purchased pvc shut off valves and screwed them on.  Work great.
