> 3 dayAfter reading all the reviews where people said the hose came off when they used it, causing it to go into their water tank, I made sure to check it before I used mine. I pulled on the end and it came right off. I slipped it back on and used a hose clamp to secure it to ensure it wouldn’t fly off and end up in my water tank. The hose itself is of decent quality, but the shut off valve material is cheap plastic that I doubt will hold up well with continued use. It does have a 5/8” hose, which should be ample to fill the tank, but you don’t get that full capacity because the flow is restricted by the opening of the ball valve, maybe 1/4 or 1/3 the volume of the hose. This barely makes filling easier. After a while the water backed up and started gurgling out. I would have to close the valve, let it sit for a couple of seconds, then start again. I didn’t have to hold it the entire time, but it couldn’t be left unattended. This will technically work, but make sure to install a hose clamp BEFORE using. Wouldn’t recommend.

> 3 dayBought this for filling our fresh water tank on our camper. The long nozzle is nice, and the ball valve for shutting off at the camper is very convenient. I don’t know how well this will hold up as it is completely made from plastic, but, for the price it was worth a try.

> 3 dayCheap plastic but it gets the job done. Easy to use but a bit overpriced. You may have better luck making a more durable one if you frequently fill your freshwater holding tank. I may go that route, but it works for now.

> 3 dayI like that this has a open/close valve, but the clear hose is too short to leave in place without holding it. Unattended, it will sometimes slide out and fall to the ground or the clear hose will kink under the weight of the fresh-water hose. I am whining. It works well still.

> 3 dayI use this anytime I pull up to a fill station and the spigot is on the opposite side of the camper from the inlet. It allows me to shut it off at the inlet instead of just dropping the hose and running to the spigot. Makes for a cleaner fill.
