SharkBite sells all three types...the push-together (expensive, but great for an occasional project), the stainless steel clamp (relatively simple tool, doesn't seem to be too critical) and the copper rings that require a more expensive tool.
I wouldn't worry at all about the push-together type from SharkBite, but there are some fittings not available in that style, such as the swivel fittings I used to install my accumulator. Many piping systems have much more vibration and pulsation than would be encountered during RV travel.
