Hose clamps

On our last outing with the TT I noticed water on the floor in the bathroom. Thought it could be from shower and found out that it was a water leak on a hose to the filter housing. They use a ring and crimp it. Just an FYI for folks noticing a water leak. Replaced it with a good hose clamp.

if its a pex water line it is a special crimp just for pex that takes a special tool. They are very reliable and a new standard of plumbing both in rv and residential construction. I would not use or trust a standard screw hose clamp on a pex line.
