Water hose?

Our Monaco has a power hose real, which has a 35' hose on it. The hose is white with a 1/8" blue stripe down the length.

It's showing it's age and I'd like to replace it.

I can't seem to find a 35' standard hose!

Camco makes a 25" and a 50' white standard hose.
And the make a 35' "Premium" hose.
The premium hose is heavier, thicker, and has springs on the ends to keep them from kinking.

I fear the extra thickness will make it not fit on the electric reel.

Anyone replace theirs, and know what works?

    Yes, most likely it is.

    Oddly, they list 3 different part numbers, for 35' of 1/2" hose (I believe this is what I have) and different part #'s for 35' of 5/8" hose and 50' of 1/2".

    I need to get in there further, but I'm thinking I don't want the heavy duty (5/8") hose, less will fit and it will be harder to deal with.

    Walmart has a 50' 1/2" cammco hose, leaning toward getting that and cutting it down to the max the reel will hold.

    when ours started getting bad we purchase a Apex NeverKink Marine And RV Water Hose. Purchase a 50 foot and cut off the extra and put a new brass end on both cuts. Purchase at a boat supply in Jacksonville, Florida. Its been in 5+ years and no issues.

    Amazon carries them, if you need today


    Probably better than a Cammco hose?

    Jim,

    This may have the info you were looking for and where they got their hose.

    SacsTC, thanks!!

    Lots of good info in there, looks like I have more checking to do.
    Puzzling that 1 Monaco had a screw on hose, another had a barb?

    This picture of yours shows exactly what my setup looks like in the water bay.
