Totally dry in every van i have owned and EVERY van i have helped to set up.
People don't want to spend money that's why things leak (not aimed at OP)
John guest fittings 1/2 inch
And these

Use barbed fittings, double jubilee clips and double o clips.
I have two leaks on my pole, one is a small drip and the other is a fine spray. The reason for these two is i am using a tap which weighs around 10grams and costs £17 for 5! So more than happy with the leak.

Pure H2o; I've been using those couplings for a while too after recommendations on here and they are very good.
Had one fall apart on me in about 18 months use, so not bad going.
Also using the rectus 26 style fittings for my taps and they are brilliant too. No more we let from the 19or21

I use cheap hozelock style fittings from ASDA or B&Q for me they seem to fit better to my machine etc. Are you fully inserting the hose and using plenty of plumbers tape? I don't use RO so maybe I've less/simpler connections.

I use loads of them. For business use, customers buy them and I use them for my home. Not had one drop yet.
I use Gardiner ez snap and jumbo ball protectors. Again. No leaks.
