I went to the airstream website and looked at the 73 floor plans. It looks like your bathroom is basically the same layout that we had in Little Girl (72 Sovereign). The water pipes mostly likely run front to back under the tub. Hopefully, you can gain access to them on the front of the tub from under the bed, and also gain access to them at the rear from under the vanity. I don’t remember if the water pipes were anchored to the floor under the tub or not when we tore everything out.

Even if you can’t pull the copper pipes out, I’ll bet you can work an electric fish tape (used to pull wires through conduit) under the tub from front to back, and then use it to pull pex pipes back under the tub. I’d make the pex as long as I needed to in order to get to a slightly more convenient place to install the copper to pex fittings.

Got any kids around? Small arms and hands might have an easier time threading the fish tape and pex under the tub.

Hope this helps a little bit anyway.
