I doubt Mark would have actually advised that -- those lines are
extremely thin-walled, subject to fatigue cracking from vibration and
work hardening when they're bent, and wear-through if they chafe
against anything.  They're meant for indoor use in a house, not
out-in-the-weather installation in a rattletrap RV.
