  • Copper Plumbing

    I see a lot of converters use cooper plumbing in their coaches. Some more than others. Is this a maintenance issue at all since I would think the vibration going down the road would eventually cause the solder joints to loosen and leak?

    It is all for show. The parts of the plumbing that are not copper are plastic.

    But don’t tell any Liberty guys I just said that. They are pretty proud of their copper pipes.

    Plastic painted cooper colored even for the plastic pipes!

    Looks very pretty. When I saw PeterC’s Elegant Lady water bay I had cooper (colored) envy over the less fancy Classic Lady plastic pipes 🙁

    I actually wondered the very same thing. Apparently it isn’t a problem because if it was I’m sure the PC Forum would be all lit up over it!

    Most of the copper has rubber joiners between the pipes
