understanding that the Pex fitting is too small based on your previous input......is why I suggested/asked in my recent post above if removing and replacing the current Pex and replacing it with the 1/2 in ID X 1/2 in FIP brass adapter that you referenced originally and simply plugging my hose back in using a SS worm gear hose clamp might work?
It would seem (SEEM) to me by using logic only (i know, i know ) that by removing the guilty (the black plastic Pex adapter in my pic) party out of the equation, and removing the current Pex clamp, then inserting the aforementioned adapter and using a worm gear clamp hose that this would remove the Pex issue out of the equation and SEEM to be an at-least temporary solution until I can get my local RVIA certified guy over to my house (he is super busy) to make a more appropriate repair.
I realize that the full blown correct solution is sort of like Brain Surgery, if you've done it a five thousand times it's "easy", but my DIY skills are not too much better than entry-level. Your thoughts on my idea of just taking the Pex part of the equation out of the picture? Btw: I hope you know how much I appreciate your time as there are probably many other RV's out there who have bigger fish to fry and would be happy to get your experience and suggestions also. thanks again, Dave
