External hose water filter suggestions

Just wondering if you use an external water filter (RV park water/trailer hose) and if so, what is the brand name.

Thank you,

  • Clean cost money, how clean do you want your water to be. I for one am a wee bit paranoid I use a Camco Ceramic filter when fairly confident and a General Ecology Trave-L-Pur when I want it ALL, pull it from lakes or streams and make it potable.
  • I use the same as Burbman. They do a fair job. No need to do a perfect multi-stage filter of water that much is just flushed down the head. The small filter removes a good quantity of materials.
    We do change it on a regulator bases as you cannot really tell how much water actually goes through it. I usually change it a couple times during the season.
  • We use these: Click here.

    Camping world sells them, so does Wall Mart and almost every RV dealership that sells parts.

    It works pretty good for us. I use it at the end of the hose, before the trailer, so it helps remove any taste from the hose. (I don't use the white hose.... bah humbug! ... long debate over that issue). So the filter does help a lot.

    BUT, you can get any kind of filter you want. It's just a matter of how much you want to spend.
  • Just bought this one. Our TT came with a whole-house filter but the cartridges were expensive and it only works for shore water, we mostly dry camp and use water from the tank.
