If you search 'wire reinforced corrugated hose' The correct connection is to use 3M 5200 inside the hose before it's slipped on and clamped. That is because the corrugated surface makes uneven pressure around the connection form the uneven surface. My Northern Lite, brand new, also did not do this correctly and I had a big leak from that.
I don't think any manufacturer is properly connecting the corrugated water fill hose.
Mine flooded out several times under the sink, back to the oven and down into the basement. Couldn't figure out where the leak was coming from. Turned out to be this improperly installed hose and a wrong, oversized hose clamp. Any PVC hose would be better than this garbage.
Also, I'm pretty sure Ray Charles worked on my camper.
