which size drinking water hose?
Got my new trailer now accessorizing. 1/2" or 5/8" water hose? which would you recommend? will it make much difference one from the other? thanks in advance.

- Will not make a lot of difference , go for 5/8 .
- Either one but I recommend filling your tank and using the pump. Pressurized RV water lines can cause a disaster.
- Will not make any difference. Every water source in the RV most likely feeds through a 3/8 inch line. Two 3/8 inch lines are less than a single 1/2 inch line. So unless you need to take a shower and wash dishes at the same time, 1/2 inch is all you need.
At home in the sticks and bricks world you only have two places in the home that feed through 1/2 inch lines. The tub and the washing machine. Every thing else feeds through a 3/8 inch or less supply line. - 5/8 inch drinking water rated. Get a good quality one with cast style fittings.

- Having a pressure limiting device is much more important than what sized hose.

Your main lines running through the camper are most likely 1/2 inch. When they feed into your faucets they go down to 3/8 inch.- Doesn't matter unless you have 3 bathrooms and everyone showers at once.
