That's actually a really good idea, as the pex would give it quite a bit of protection. I think I'll do that as I'm about to run some new propane lines on my old Ambassador.

I seem to remember Andy @ InlandRV saying something about using foam insulation for the same purpose, but I'm not sure because he may have just been yelling at someone to replace their !@#$ axles and I ignored everything else (Just kidding Andy... I need axles and will be ordering them soon!).
