Trailer Plumbing (potable)

So I'm out fumbling around in the dark winterising the Starcraft. Found a water leak in the plumbing to the sink. It's plastic, compression fitting type stuff. I think the part that is leaking is just plain worn out from swapping a filter in and out.

What's a good, high quality replacement for this kind of plumbing for potable water? Anything that is more "industrial", some sort of blingtastic steel braid or similar? :)

I'm not looking to break new ground, just want to get the ducks lined up for a spring time refit.

TIA

I used all steel braided with brass fittings and a few of these ultra cool multi swivel jammies...designed for air lines but worked great for water!

Made all connections plug and play, and for the longer runs I used the dishwasher kits 5'-8' long

You can use steel braided line, but it's really overkill for the application.

You can find everything you need at any RV or trailer supply. I used braided plastic line and brass fittings from Home Depot. It's inexpensive, reliable for trailer plumbing, and readily available anywhere in case of a problem.
