I am wanting advice for a fresh ware hose that is easy to coil up to store. The one I have now I just bought at Wally Mart and not only is it impossible to coil up neatly, the water coming out has a bad odor and of course taste bad. Yes, it is for potable water. I have also tried a white hose (for potable water) similar to the green Pocket Hose that has been out for a couple years and not to be used for potable water. Although it was easy to store, the water taste bad. Any ideas out there?

Maybe the water tank or source is the taste problem and not the hose. I use a regular white potable water hose. Coils up easily into a 18in or so set of loops. Been using the same hose for 6-7 years. Mostly only need the 25ft piece but have a 50ft piece if I need it.

We use the white Camco/Camping World whatever RV hose..But we have 2 of them. The regular 50 footer which we hardly ever use. You know, the one that is hard to drain and hard to coil.We also have a 10 footer which is long enough for 90% of our hook up needs... much easier to handle..I just don't need 40 feet of extra hose tangled up and laying on the ground between the spigot and our trailer.

I, also, would question whether the hose is causing the water taste. At least after it has been used a few hours. In my experience, bad tasting water is bad tasting straight from the spigot.

Have you tried putting an inline filter in? We have been parked at the same place for several months and I have 50ft Camco white hose from CW. Have never had problems with the taste or smell of the water.

Well I have had two of the Camco white hoses for 6+ years and don't ever remember them being very difficult to coil even in 30 degree weather, never had a taste issue either. Not junk in my opinion.

The Camco TastePURE Premium RV water hoses that Walmart sells are made in the USA.

Try coiling one under 60 degrees.

I've coiled mine numerous times even below 32 deg.F with no great difficulty. Are they stiffer when it's colder? Yep. But they still coil without kinking.

Ya can lead a horse to a water bucket filled by a Camco TastePURE Premium water hose made in the USA - but ya can't make a *wise* horse drink from it!

It's neigh (nay!) for me -
but whatever rings *your* chimes or fills *your* bucket!..:C
