Re: [A/S] PEK Water lines

Very. We only saw one before they changed.

Airstream has a history of "experimenting" on the production line. They
will try something on a few coaches and then track the coaches history
along with evaluating feedback to decide whether or not to implement it.
They used to use the Argosy line for many of their trials.

Over the years I've seen unannounced changes in plumbing (PVC), axles
(Dexter) well before they made the permanent change, and installing the
stainless steel wrap protectors backwards. When I checked with the plant
each time they confirmed the changes.
