Here is one actual other reason. In Montana, state law requires that a hose be available to rinse down the dump station pad. That water line MUST be labeled "Non Potable" and is actually required to be constructed so that it cannot be threaded onto a fresh water fill.
That's funny, since most older RVs have a gravity fill inlet for their fresh water tank, and a cut-off hose will actually fit into that inlet while a threaded end won't.:D
Any hose I have seen won't come remotely close to reaching my gravity fill
I said it here before, but it's worth repeating. I was once behind a French guy who was dumping at a national park. He was in a rented rig from the outfit that decorates all of them like a rolling billboard. He hooks the stinky slinky up, and pulls the black valve. Next he grabs the hose like he is holding a fire hose. He sprays it in the direction of the drain, and for the most part, keeps the mess inside the recessed "sink" area surrounding the 4" sewer hole in the ground. After he does both tanks, he takes the short fresh water hose, located on one of those spring loaded towers, and slides it through his hose like he is cleaning the barrel of a gun. For his final act he stretches the hose tight, holds it in opening and FILLS HIS FRESH WATER TANK! I managed to control my gag reflex and not toss.
