Colour of water hose
The water hose between the tap and the trailer, why are they white? Any issues with using a new garden hose instead?

The white hose is specifically designed for potable water, a garden hose can contain impurities and leave a taste. Besides, you don't want to accidently use the one for rinsing the waste tanks.
Why not use CLEAR see thru water hose,,
would make it easy to see that its clean inside..
:B
You can buy them or could at some RV rallies we've seen them set up to make any length clear hose with reinforcement and stainless or brass ends.
I would not have one, from the coach, nor a thin translucent white hose, from the water supply, especially in bright sun light or any exposure or for any length of time. Algae and bugs grow because of the sun, on the walls of the cheap vinyl. I'm sure you've seen some with a brownish coating inside of the hose.
As to lead in hoses, lead is a common ingredient in many rubber and plastics. As to hoses in particular, I don't know.
