I think, but not 100% sure , that here in BC flexible lines inside RV is not allowed. I think it has to be copper. But that aside, you might have a problem making the curves in the flex line to match up with the fridge inlet. And you might have issues feeding the two flex lines through the floor and around to the T by the reg.

The stock soft copper lines seem to work fine. Sometimes the connection to the fridge is fussy but I've never been unable to make the connection. The copper is smaller in diameter than rubber flex, makes tighter turns, and that is a big advantage.
