I don't know about "making a switch" I suspect it has to do with what works for the manufacturer.. Our vintage Airstream was all copper. Water lines too.. We changed the water to pex, and the gas lines to flex/rubber, because that is what we saw being done at the factory on our visit.

Our 2011 177 was soft lines, as is our Lance.

Our RP-179 has a rubber hose, except where there are a couple of aluminum block manifolds. I presume it's not a "plain" rubber hose, but a reinforced rubber hose with some sort of fabric of nylon or kevlar under the surface. I think this is probably safer than any metal-type of pipe (be it copper, or steel).]]> Tue, 04 Sep 2018 09:57:09 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12150&PID=114596#114596 Propane lines : Is the RV industry changing from... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12150&PID=114595#114595 Author: David and Danette

  Is the RV industry changing from using black pipe for the propane lines under camper to rubber hoses? I have read that Winnebago and Coachmen have made the change. I am wandering if it is to save money or if rubber hoses are better. Do the r-pods have rubber hose or black pipe for the propane lines under camper? Our 2012 V-Cross Vibe has black pipe a 2017 Coachmen trailer we want to buy has rubber hose, I am wanting to know if one is better than the other. I don't remember what our 2009 r-pod had.       Thank you,  David]]> Tue, 04 Sep 2018 09:50:40 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12150&PID=114595#114595
