I've seen the kits that Safeair1 offer, but somewhere in the back of my mind, I also thought I saw just the fittings and tubing so you could roll your own if so inclinded. After doing a little web research, I refreshed my memory.
Go to www.mcmaster.com
On the mcmaster site, search for "instant tube" and when you get there, you are looking for the Polybutylene fittings as the tee's and wyes have mounting holes.
There are numerous kinds available, and you'll need the tees, wyes, and straight to NPT brass fittings.
I don't know on the RV's, but on the Lancair that I'm building, it uses poly-flo tubing of the size .250 OD x .170 ID x .040 wall normally, so I figure that you should use the same size tubing if you are going to these instant release fittings. (You can't use just any tubing so read on.)
Next search for polyurethane tubing, you'll need to look for the one that has a hardness of 88-97 and there is one in there that is also available in 6 different colors.
Hope this helps... I'm probably going to order up a bunch as I need to get my pitot and static system installed.
