I’m adding a spigot to the back part of my yard for my garden. It’s about 200’ away from the house. I’ve got a backflow valve for my front sprinkler system that I’m going to splice into and run pex in my crawlspace to connect with pvc in a ditch I’m about to trench outside of my house. I’m also going to run hot/cold water lines that I’ve got valves on in my crawlspace for an outdoor shower.

What’s the best way to go from 1” pex to 3/4” pvc?

Anything special I should do when going through foundation to ditch?

Is 3/4” big enough for that stretch of pipe?

Any other suggestions?

I’ve got a pex A tool.

I’m looking to buy a 3500 ram dually for my camper and wanted to see if there are any advantages of going with an older or newer truck (mechanically). Like did they change anything that I should stay away from on a newer trucks? Are there major maintenance items or things to look out for around 120-150k miles?
