Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

Okay, I'm coming down the home stretch on my camper and need to figure this out. I am in the process of installing a small camper stove with oven inside my galley and need to get the gas from the front to inside the galley in the back. I have found rubber lines that I could use to get me there. I don't know how the rubber hose would hold up against road debris driving down the road??? Would I be better off mounting a piece of PVC pipe underneath and then sliding the rubber hose inside it from front to back??? Anyone have any ideas???

Thanks for any ideas you may have.

Take a hint from your house ,

Black pipe or perhaps copper protected by pvc as a rock guard,



I'm using black pipe with flex hose at each end.

just my 2 cents

Thanks for the input. What size i.d. pipe would you recommend that I use? Also, do I use pipe dope to join the flex to the rigid pipe?

Iplan to protect under chassis piping with the black foam pipe insulation. It's split and can be installed after piping is complete.

Find a good plumbing supply shop ( no we are not talking a big box shop )and take in your parts, they will get ya where ya need to go. I would think 1/2 would be God a plenty and fittings are easy to find to adapt to and from.

I like the foam pipe cover but I think I will go with the black pipe idea. I can get some pipe at Lowe's and I think I can get the reducers I need to finish it out. Lowe's will even cut the pipe and rethread it for me. Should work out fine. I saw the 1/2" pipe but was afraid that it was too big. Someone else mentioned 1/2" as well. Sooo, I guess I will go with the 1/2" pipe.

Thanks for your inputs.

3/8's copper line with flair fittings is all you need...you can use the coiled copper and get you a flair tool and some flare fittings and go to town..just be sure to test the connections with soapy water when done, and then you can put pi8pe insulation over it under the trailer where it runs front to back.
personally, i'd attach it to the frame rails with clamps to keep it out of the debris field.
