I should think hose is a fine if it is well supported and has good chaff protection as it passes through anything.
interesting....my coach was built w/ a combination of pipe...

the coach builder ran black pipe down the center under the floor, exposed to the road.

a conventional rubber gas line provides the connection between the tank & the black pipe.

each appliance is connected via copper lines to the black pipe.

when i ran a connection for an outdoor grill, i ran copper tubing to the rear of the coach and then ran black pipe down along the outside of one of my storage bins - i wrapped the copper pipe with split foam insulation.

my 50 gallon LP tank measures approximately 38" long by 20" high
