- B-goatExplorerRhino is my back-up for sewer hoses. I use a Valterra Dominator. Made of thicker material and stays put when collapsed.

The little brass things by Camco are not regulators, and ought to be against the law to advertise them as such. They are just a flow restrictor.

Hook one up to a 90 psi system with a pressure gauge after it. The pressure won't be 90 psi when using water, but turn off all water flow and watch the gauge. It will go to 90 psi. Absolutely worthless.
Yes a Watts is expensive, but you can get something close such as this-

Just about any hose rated for potable water will work, but keep in mind the cheaper ones cost less for a reason. Mostly the fittings don't generally hold up as well as some of the costlier ones. - OldtymeflyrExplorerSewer Hose. I use one for a couple of years then get rid of it. Our concrete drive way is tough on sewer hoses and frankly its good to clean things out once in a while. I tried the brown heavy duty hose and did not like it, just did not fit our program. Nice to have a choice.
Water: We use a cheap regulator, a plastic Camco unit. It works. Also, always have a filter before the unit. In addition we have an in the unit water filter. We have needed both of them this year when a park had a water line break. Nasty water plugged the filters. They did their job, we then switched to our tank.
Hose: I use the most flexible drinking water hose I can find. My basic hose is 15 feet long. If I need more I will add another length. I do not use a regular garden hose, we have found that some can impart a taste to the water. - AJRExplorerWho needs a water regulator?
Clean and fill you fresh water tank so you can stop anywhere.
Never mind....
peace... - RambleOnNWExplorer IISewer hose: Camco Revolution
2nd one after 1st one started to leak around the exit fitting. Not a big deal since it drained directly into the dump. But at 7 years old ok to replace. Looked at Rhino but didn't know if it would compress into my sewer boom.
Water hose: Camco heavy hose, 25 feet.
Don't remember model since we carried it for a couple of years before using it. Old hose was thinner and never leaked but it was >15 years old so thought it prudent to retire.
Pressure regulator: Camco 50psi unit
Basic unit, also use the same model unit on our black tank flush hose.
Water filter: Culligan RV700 - GulfcoastExplorerThanks for all the help guys... there's nothing like first hand experience.

I would not get any hose of lesser quality than the Rhino...there are others that are more expensive and more secure from leaks.
I would not get any regulator of lesser quality than the adjustable type shown above. The in-line "restrictors" limit you to 40 lbs and are prone to fail.
I would not get any drinking water hose of lesser quality than the blue 5/8" non-kinking Camco or Valterra hoses.
You will most definitely pay more initially for these items, but in the long run you will pay less as they will last much longer than the cheap stuff. You've already paid a small fortune for your rv, no need to cheap out now.
My 2 cents..

Ron - OlddudExplorerBought the adjustable Renator M11-0660R Water Pressure Regulator from Amazon. Cost $40. Old cheapie one failed and made funny noises. (sorry about the large picture - scared me too.)
- blownstang01ExplorerKinda beating a dead horse here, but definitely Rhino hose best I've ever used.
- skiproExplorerI've had very good luck with the Rhino hose. No leaks and no hassles.
