Has anyone replaced their white plastic pipe with pex? These washboard roads on our Alaska trip are causing the retaining clamps that go around the female connector to come loose. The rubber/plastic clamps holding them to the pvc mounting boards are coming loose as the result of the the intense shaking....the screws are stripping out and allowing the connections to loosen. I'm surprised they didn't loosen enough to create a leak. I just think permanent pex connectors would be a better fix. Any reason to not replace. with pex? I haven't studied the layout to see where all that pipe is used...water heater, pump, etc, so I expect difficulties along the way. Just looking for a little advice now and I won't think about starting this project until stationary for a couple of weeks this winter. Might be a good time then to do my furnace ductwork replacement/reconfiguration project :)
Thanks for all help,
John
