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?

Many non-potable water hoses contain things like lead. You don't want to use them.
Lead ????? I'm sorry but, I doubt it. They don't use Lead for anything anymore.
Yes.... LEAD
The white hose is FDA-approved.

that article stated :The researchers tested 32 garden hoses from six national retailers, including The Home Depot, Lowe’s and Amazon, for lead, cadmium, phthalates, bromine (associated with brominated flame retardants), PVC, antimony and tin (indicating oganotins). Water from select hoses was also tested. Such chemicals, said a press release announcing the study’s results, have been linked to birth defects, impaired learning, liver toxicity, premature births and early puberty in laboratory animals, and hormone disruption among other serious health problems.
but didn't say what or how much was found if any in the hoses.
