thanks

This thing is HORRIBLE PLASTIC TASTE and is UN USABLE. I would ask for a refund but I trusted CAMCO and this is JUNK and is going STRAIGHT in the trash I will buy the old reliable white hiose I only help they have not IMPROVED the old style and made another good product garbage We shall see. The white one had no taste at all but leaked after 5 years

Every hose Ive had in the past 10 years would send a foamy mixture out that was quite evident when squirting into a bucket or against a tree. The longer the hose is in the sun the longer it then takes to flush out all the foam. I am getting rid of all my hoses and replacing them with the Camco hose. I am passing this health information along to all I talk to about this issue. I will be purchasing more of these. Thank you for thinking of human and animal safety and the environment!

Good quality drinking water hose that leaves no taste in the water. This is my 3rd hose from Camco. I have the 50 foot hose and the 10 foot hose and now the 25 foot hose. You never know how far you will be from the water source at a campground. I like the larger diameter for the increased water flow. It is a little harder to roll up due to its thicker wall diameter but that also helps it from getting kinks in it or getting damaged when laying out on the gravel of a campsite. UPDATE 7/24/16 After using this hose multiple times it has gotten kinks in it as I roll it up. I have to fully unroll it and work on each of the kinks to get it straightened out. I have gone back to using the lighter weight white hose by Camco for daily travels. I still use the blue one at my seasonal campsite where it stays connected a month at a time. The white light weight one is better when you are traveling and connecting/disconnecting/rolling up on a daily basis.

These are the way to go! You can order them in many lengths and they are pretty serious as far as a hose goes. They are very well made. The and are super strong. I purchased two 25 foot for a class b RV so when I only need the short length I use one but if I need long I can hook the two together. They roll up nice and small and take up very little space.. At first they do really like to stay rolled up. You for sure need to wear them in some because they are so well made.

We dont use hoses for our drinking water while camping at RV parks, just for showering and dish washing. We use bottled water (from from home water system) for drinking so I cant comment about water flavor from this hose. The construction seems to be good but we only use them for a 2 week duration maybe 8 times a year. I do NOT recommend the use of these hoses if you need to store them in your RV if you are disconnecting when the temperature is below about 45F (7C). Recently, I tried to roll up this hose for storage in my RV when the temp was 38F (3.3C). With difficulty I was able to bend the hose without any apparent damage but it insisted on returning to straight. I gave up after 10 min and hung the hose unrolled on my roof ladder with just one bend secured with bungy cords. Later on the road after the temperature increased, I was able to roll it up and store it properly. Next time I will be using an electrically heated hose even if the the low temperature doesnt go below freezing.

Few (UPDATES)... Bought both, The HD Valterra 5/8 hose on first impression wins this one... a noticeably better product, all-round, with full flow through fittings match hose ID, my concern. (UPDATE: the brass or alloy male connection end is of a quite soft thin pressed out brass type metal. Caution dragging! I messed up my male end a little already, oops-). The HD Camco hose fitting connections are not full hose diameter. Both appear to be 1/2 ID restrictive fitting, but are machined sturdy and sharp cut threads. Many hose makers use restrictive fittings, and they are not desirable when long hose runs are necessary with multiple connections, at lower fresh water inlet pressures. Both the HD Camco and Valterra ends are attached well, but the machine sharp threads, and loose chrome plating flakes inside the Camco hose were not desirable, IMO. Also, IMO, machined sharp threading into other softer materials tend to cross thread, ie: plastic and other cast fittings. The HD Camco hose material does not feel or appear to match the 20% better claims as listed and on packaging. This Camco HD hose feels thin and the reinforcement appears almost as graphically embossed vs. the visible thread mesh inside the thicker feeling hose material of the Valterra HD hose. Both hoses are very stiff when cold. Camco hose felt like it would crack if forced. (UPDATE: the VT HD hose tends to take a set and kink quite easily in hot summer weather. Valterra HD hose coiling for storage during hot weather gets kinda weird. The HD Camco stiffer material hose may perform better in the summer heat.) Valterra HD hose packaging states a 10 year warranty, and feels like it will make it. The Camco HD hose... a limited 1 year package claim. IMO, the 5-6$ more for the Valterra 25 -5/8 hose is worth it, many of Val. products are. I exchanged my Camco hose for their dual axle wheel twist clamp stabilizer... its simple, light, and handy, but needs to be checked every few days while in use. Happy trails.

Works exactly as we needed it to. Our first camping trip in our travel trailer was a success!

Replaced a 5 year old identical hose because it became brittle with constant exposure to the sun. I put a section of fire hose over the end that is exposed to direct sunlight and it has been doing very well holding up.I would definitely recommend, but if exposed to direct sunlight cover it up to make it last longer.

I haven’t used this particular hose yet, I have this same exact hose brand for 5 years now, bought this as a back up. This is the perfect length and is used for my RV… it is sturdy and doesn’t kink up… well worth buying this.
