Zero-G water hoses

Looking at water hoses for next season and making my Christmas list. Thinking about getting a Zero-G hose but not sure which one.

Gray / Black "garden" hose says it's drinking water safe and it's 5/8"; more volume but more bulk to store
Gray Zero-G

Blue RV/Marine hose is 1/2"; less volume and see complaints that it says do not keep under pressure? Aren't all RV hoses under pressure when in use?!
Blue Zero-G

Which one is best for travel trailer use?

One must ask the question.. Do I ALWAYS "need" 50 feet of hose???

My own personal use, no.

for me, some campgrounds 10' of hose works fine, some may need several 10' sections or so.

For long term usage and under constant pressure (especially HIGH pressure) I think you will find those "zero" hoses failing faster than plain old non woven types.

I carry three 10' white RV hoses and one white RV 25' hose, shorter hoses are much easier to handle and store than one single long hose. Counter intuitive to what you think!

For storing my hoses, I empty and coil them up and loosely couple the ends of each hose together, keeps dirt out of the ends and helps keep the hose from getting tangled up.

This way I only use the exact length of hose need, that 50ft of zero hose, you are going to have a lot of coils of hose laying about if your hydrant is only 10ft away from you..
