I think I may still have a hose like that.. The problem is the nice fabric jacket is good but the inside is kind of not that durable so eventually it leaks... Since mine is used for washing only or filling the fresh tank when I need the feet (it's 50') not a problem...
The only hose I recommend against is the "pocket hose" type hoses that retract when pressure is removed.. IF the park should loose pressure (happens in every park I've been in at one time or another) the hose can retract and in some cases it my pull the inlet right off your RV (won't mine but.. Well. I'm different, Hose does not go to an inlet, it goes to an adapter that feeds a filter and if it pulls the adapter apart it is way easier to fix than the inlet.. But I still use that hose too only for washing.
