We happened to be near a CW where we are camping so we dropped in and had a look at the various hoses. The Valterra Viper hose might be the way to go and that way we can still use the Valterra bayonet style fittings we already have. With the Viper hose, you can buy just a section of hose and not have to buy a kit with fittings we don't need.
The Viper hose is made from TPE (thermoplastic elastomers) and Valterra says it is virtually indestructible, is puncture resistant and returns to it's original shape when crushed.
The only problem with the Viper hose is that it is around 3 times the price of the lesser EZ-Coupler hose and could cost us over $200 for a set of 4 hoses. :( Maybe it will be on sale somewhere at the end of the season.
