Rick,
You will spend a LOT of time replacing fittings on the coach over time.
I keep forgetting that most people haven’t had a need to identify pipe and tube by sight. You now have that need. Go to Lowes/HD and buy your self an assortment of pipe plugs for 1/8, 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2 NPT. Drill a hole in each and put them on a cable. By using that you will soon develop the ability to identify by sight NPT threads. Do the same for 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2 tubing. You need some DOT of those sizes anyway.
Once you know the sizes, you can cruise the DOT fittings on the McMaster site.
