Pex conversion in older Winnie Minnie

Anybody have thoughts of converting to Pex lines in my motorhome? I believe the fittings that in my 86 Winnie Minnie are an off-size (9/16?") and I'm having difficulty finding a source that has a fitting that will convert to 1/2" Pex. Anybody gone this route? Thanks.

I have not done that on Rv but I do know what you mean and the pain it can bring. Pex is a new item in plumbing and it is not always easy to adapt to older tech.
When faced with this, I had had to do several transitions from the Pex to other like PVC or copper and then to the fixtures. At times, it has been a project where the fixtures like faucets were also old enough to just go with the decision to replace those as well and call it an upgrade.
While it is always a decision to make in each case, it may be true that using something like PVC works out better for the overall job since there are far more of the "standard" sizes to meet what we need for each faucet.
