How to source faucet water lines?

Just bought a 2013 T@B, my first RV of any kind. This T@B has seen little use, and the water lines/risers from the PVC lines to the faucet are leaking. They are 1/2" X 1/2" FIP 18" length. Anyone know where I can buy these? I tried the 1/2" I.P.S. lines from Ace Hardware but the hose diameter is too small and the pump and pipes growled with less water flow. I've tried House of Hose and specialty plumbing supply's- nothing. The original's are Shurflo Easyrisers. I'm sure I should call NuCamp next, or a dealer? I might be able to build them myself with fittings, bulk hose and hose clamps but trying to find a plug and play fix. I tried teflon tape too...........the issue is the swivel fitting. Thanks!!

    You should be able to find 1/2” fip supply tubes with a larger diameter. Try a different hardware store.

    Is it a pretty straight run? You could get 2 1/2” FIP x sharkbite fittings and 1/2” pex tubing to make up the difference in between.

    @Sea2Summit - we purchased these from nuCamp (prior to the parts order change).  They are for the water pump inlet/outlet.  I would send an email to help@nucamprv.com and request an 18”.  They may well have them.  Ask them to check with Elsie in parts.  The brand/supplier was Utopia.

    I replaced ours with stainless because I wanted more flexibility. Bought them at Home Depot. Worked fine. I see or hear no difference.
