Small connection hardware is easy to lose track of in a large water-system purchase list. These clamps belong with the PEX fittings and pipe rather than the worm-drive clamps used on other hose assemblies.
I bought Half-Inch Stainless PEX Cinch Clamps as part of my camper van equipment.

Where it fits my build
My Day 87 plan put the body openings ahead of the aluminum framing, flooring and wall panels. I specifically included the shower drain and the openings for three water tanks in that order of work.
I removed cargo tie-down hardware to leave mounting points for the extrusion framing, and removed door trim for the later insulation and paneling. SketchUp helped me plan how those separate jobs would fit together.

My build notes
The useful part of this diary entry is the sequence. I wanted to finish the drilling while the interior metal was bare, so later work would not mean opening finished surfaces again.
The photographs show my preceding floor-preparation session. Sweeping, washing and removing residue created the starting point for the interior work I described next.
I planned the openings and mounting access before enclosing the interior.
Alternative products
Two alternatives to compare
The LOKMAN pack is another supply of half-inch cinch clamps. The iCrimp alternative bundles clamps with the crimping and cutting tools, changing the choice from replenishment hardware to a fuller tool kit.
LOKMAN Half-Inch PEX Cinch Clamps
This LOKMAN pack supplies fifty stainless-steel cinch clamps for half-inch PEX. Each clamp has a single ear for closing with a cinch tool.
This iCrimp kit includes a cinch tool, tubing cutter and PEX clamps. It offers tools and connection hardware together rather than a clamp-only refill pack.
