Disconnecting faucet from water supply
I need to replace the kitchen faucet in my 06 Featherlite. The supply hoses connected to the faucet are held in place with a type of clip I have not seen before. Anyone know how to release these clips? Any help is greatly appreciated!

That is another type of crimp on connector. I think. I would cut it off and start over.

cut off and use a driver tightened clip.

Or Flair-it connectors. They are a little more expensive, but work very well. They are actually vinyl hose compression fittings.

I'm a little curious. Is there some reason why you want to disconnect the faucet at the tee rather than at the faucet? You still have to get up under the sink bowl to remove the nuts that hold the faucet in place.

FPM III. Good point. I never associated why he was taking it apart there.

Thanks for the tips! Not taking apart at the tee but the connectors are the same and easier to get a pic of the connectors there! I will look for a good quality compression fitting.

When you go to LOWES to get your fittings just be sure to take all the parts with you you need to connect to. They will come up with ever you need to make it all fit...
I got a different kind of faucet combo and I was able to make my sink in my 14RT OFF-ROAD POPUP a good two inches bigger all the way around it. Amazing how that really helped out...
The guys at LOWES were a big help getting me all setup with everything I needed to make the change-over.

Still not clear to me. The faucet should be removable with a nut to be unscrewed. Just like in a house.

What Norty1 said. Probably no need at all to release any clamps. The end of the 1/2" PEX pipe is probably connected to a screw on fitting with a clamp - like the ones in the picture. The screw on fitting fastens onto the faucet, one from the hot water pipe and one from the cold water pipe - can probably be unscrewed from the faucets with just your fingers. There should be three or four gripping flanges on the fitting. The fitting probably looks like this.
