The plumbing in my '99 Fleetwood flair 34D is totally shot.
Hi,
I made the mistake of believing somebody about the condition of the plumbingin our RV when we bought it.
Turns out that every order supply line is broken. This is probably going to be a stupid question, but how major a job is it to replace the lines going to the toilet and bathroom sink? The kitchen sink I can reach relatively easily. Is there like a raceway or something that you can stuff pipe through?
Thank you!!

Time consuming and frustrating ; to be sure .
Are the broken/cracked lines ; pex ?
Now you need to view as much of the supply tube as possible ; flex camera would help ; if the lines are only curved between supply and fixture , you may be able to connect new to old and pull through .
If there are 90 degree fittings in the line ; those are an issue .

Every piece I could see or reach is broken. There's an access behind the toilet and behind the sink and everything is shattered in there too.

Sounds like the result of a long term freeze up of an unwinterized RV .
Any chance you can return this and get your money back ; due to the misrepresentation.
Absolutely everything that is in the water system is probably shot ; fresh tank, 12 volt pump, toilet, water heater and all the tap sets.
This can be repaired but it will be time consuming and COSTLY , even as a DIY.

I should have mentioned that you also have to consider, where the water that froze and split the lines went when the ice thawed .
Good possibility there has been damage to wall and floor material and mold , in places with no access.
