1991 Lance 11.3 slide in/ water pipe replace

hey everyone, i acquired a slide in camper. its a 1991 lance 11.3 with generator, and wet bath. After getting everything fired up, found out the camper is a mess. lol the pump works and pressurized the system, unfortunately in 2 areas the lines are cracked and need replaced. any one ever just rip put as much as they can and just pex the whole thing? i have the pex tool, the pipe size is not a standard size, its a 3/8" OD so i am thinking i am going to hae to sleeve over the pipe with pex and crimp but am unsure if it will create a seal. Any thoughts or referrals to a different thread. Also is there a battery on off switch to these slide ins? sorry for the questions i have only owned toy haulers with a little more room than a slide in

replacing old piping

this old water line is almost the id of 1/2 " pex and i think what i would do is do a trial to see if heat applied to a piece of pex could be forced over the old product. I would do some research thru Lance to find out whom the orig. manufacturer was of this product. Most current manufacturers have a department the an owner can get in touch with. As a retired plumber do some back ground research may help.

Thanks I was able to measure out a section of pipe that burst, its a combo of 3/8 inch and 1/2 inch pipe with 3/4 npt threads for connections to faucets. I am
ripping it all out and installing pex through the whole thing, since its 30 years old and i already have the tools.
