Nice! Lots of good ideas here.

As for water hoses, sounds like that is not a good option. I was thinking this might work if i had some super flexible hoses, like the Flexzilla hose, or maybe the Teknor Zero-G hose.

I do store my expandable hoses (the kind that grow to size when they're excited) in one. I use a quick "mega clamp" on one end to keep it tidy and together. I just lay it in the gutter in the vinyl fence post.

There's no reason why you couldn't do it with a Zero-G hose.

What expandable hose do you use ependydad? Are you happy with it? Any issues?

The expandable hose is only for my black tank flush. I never found one marked with "drinking water safe". I've had 2 of them for fulltime use for a couple of years now. I did have one die on me after 18 months or so and replaced it with the same thing.

I don't keep them under pressure and empty them between times that I flush the black tank (I just turn off water at the spigot/splitter and it self-empties into the tank).

They came from Bed, Bath, and Beyond. They're black with metal fittings. They've actually held up quite well.

For drinking water, I use the Zero G hose.
