Sure, but for a 10' section of PEX B from Lowes, I could buy 100' on Amazon.

I rarely shop Lowes unless thay have something nobody else has. They are typically more expensive than their competition and aside from the Craftsman and Delta tools, rarely carry anything that is compelling to me...

Looking into the sharkbite clamp on and clamp / crimp tool. Big hangup is 1/2" PEX to 3/4" GHT Male ball valve I need for my output to the water heater.

So shopping list for this right now is...

20 gallon fresh water tank. 32.5" x 11.75" x 11.75"
15x18x8 single bowl stainless bar / RV sink.
Camco Sink drain / gray water hose for straight dump. (No gray tank built in, will use 5 gallon flexible jugs when needed.)
2 rolls 100' PEX, more than I need but whatever.
1 push to connect 1/2" to 3/4" MHT ball valve (Washing machine connector) I have caps with seals for that.
5PC 1/2" x 1/2" PEX to MPT male
3 pc 1/2" x 1/2" PEX to FPT Female for the inlet and I believe the water pump.
1pc 1" PVC MPT x slip ball valve for tank dump.
1pc 1.5" x 1" M x F PVC bushing.
Pack of 4 elbows, 3 tees and 3 inline splices to gain me the 2 tees and 4 elbows I need.
PEX clamp crimper tool with 20 clamps. Probably need more clamps.
50pk 1/2" PEX cinch clamps. Now I have too many but too many is better than not enough.

As I understand the city water inlet has a one way check valve, so no need for check valves down the circuit. Diagram in my Sportsmobile manual shows a tee, with a vertical line and what looks like a fill funnel. I am figuring on routing a vertical with a capped threaded adapter as a fill port for funnel / gravity fill in case of such a need.

I am not sure on the faucet yet. Probably as small and unobtrusive as possible. If I can figure out a way to just rig the Joolca faucet, done deal.
