I have the same white hose since I started RV`ing 13 years ago. The white are made for drinking. Yes I too drink from a garden hose.....at home. but the water is always running and anything that leaches into the water has been flushed out!
Why use a garden hose when an RV specific hose is available for the same price? you can be stubborn all you want, but there is no good reason for using a garden hose for an RV. you can always tell a newbie because they pull out the hose that they took off the faucet from the yard and its all knotted up. it`s actually kinda fun to watch them try and unknot it and get all the kinks out!
I have 200 feet of Flexzilla in my trailer all nice and neatly wound on a garden hose reel. It stays in my trailer all year long. I have the same 200 feet of Flexzilla hanging on the side of my house. It gets drained in the winter and stays hanging on the side of the house all year long.
Now I may look like I grabbed the hose reel from the house and tossed it in but I can asure you I have 2 seperate systems and I am far from a noob. I have been camping all my life and have owned RV's of various shapes and sizes for the last 25 years.
Bring on the Ho Po. When they come knocking on my door and see what is waiting on the other side I am sure they will be needing that paper to wipe something else. :p
EDIT: Figured I better add that this entire post was meant to be fun and entertaining. Please dont be offended in any way.
