waterhoses

what size do I get 1/2 or 5/8 in. waterhose for fresh & gray???
I do 25ft. but what dim.??
  • The water lines inside your RV are 1/2". 5/8" hoses do not give you more water unless the water pressure is very low at the source, and that is rare. 1/2" is easier to store. Your choice. I use 1/2" with no problem in a 31 ft. class C motorhome. I don't use a water hose for draining the grey water because I flush my drain holes with the grey water after draining the black water as you are supposed to do.
  • 5/8". Sometimes the food that might go down the drain from the sink can be large enough to block up the 1/2" hose. This is only for the grey of course. For fresh water the 1/2" will work fine.
  • thx, just got a new 2014 30ft.sunseeker stepping up from a 23ft travel trailer and planning on getting new hoses, ones now bout 8 yrs old
