best fresh water hose
We are buying everything we need for our new TT and are looking at hoses to bring fresh water into the trailer. We want at least 100' since we will be camping at parks where we will often be attaching...

If that park water supply spigot is community property and not an on-site tap then sure there is ... it's inconsiderate. I've done this rarely and only if the tap was right in front of our site and only because I connected to it with a quick disconnect fitting so if someone else came along wanting water I could instantly disconnect to allow them to do so.

I like the way that you mention it being inconsiderate to hook up to a community spigot and then explain to us that you have done it but for some reason its okay because you have a quick disconnect LOL. If its a community tap it doesnt matter if its close to your site or not - dont hook up to it like its yours, pretty simple.
I agree, but at least I'm man enough to admit it ... are you? :W I can recall just 2 times I've done this but when I did I stood right there at the tap and in fact did disconnect the one time when someone else wanted to fill a bucket. With a quick disconnect it was simply a matter of turning off the water flow and pulling my hose off the quick disconnect so the other person could fill their bucket. I have however seen on many occasions others run hundreds of feet of hose from their camper to a road side tap, turn the water on, then disappear back to their site ... that's inconsiderate. :S In reality I rarely source water from a roadside tap but instead collect it in bulk at the potable water tower located at the park dump station with a set of 7 gal Aquatainers that live in my truck while we're camping.
