Water hose for fresh water hook up

This hose has heavy duty thick connectors. Problem with many hoses they have stamped thin connectors.
Camco at Walmart

Light weight fabric covered "ZeroG" hose has lasted me 2 years under constant use. I will never go back with a regular bulky hose again. The ZeroG cost a couple bucks more but has done well.
I have the Camco hose above in a container as a spare after I retired it. I Haven't used it only once since when I need a few more feet. Its a nice hose but not very flexible.

We have been full-time travelers for almost 7 years, and I’ve been through several hoses. I got tired of having issues putting a hose away in cool temps, so changed 1 1/2 years ago to to the Apex Teknor Zero G hoses. They are flexible, drinking water safe and easy to handle. A 50’ hose fits in the space of a 25’ rubber one. One other thing I’ve done is add quick connectors to all my hoses and fittings. Makes it very easy to quickly disconnect or add hoses to my supply manifold.

I think I am still using the same hose that I started with BUT I only use it to fill up the FW Tank and let the pump do the rest.
You are using a pressure regulator at the campground source, right?

I use the quick connectors also. I will look into the above. Keep suggestions coming, they are helping a lot. On the Zero G hose...can it take heat tape in the Winter to prevent freezing?

Thanks 2oldman. I usually look things up from past posts, but this time I didn't. Guess I had brain freeze. :)

No prob.

Leaking fittings can be traced to using the poorly designed washers that come with then. Go to a plumbing supply and get washers for washing machine supply hoses or go to a big box store and get "green stripe washers" and 95% of the leaks will go away. The rest are probably from defective or run over ends.

I was just at lowes yesterday looking at the zero G on display at the checkout. I think price went down.

Skim over the link. I've needed a hose for months. For me I'm not all mr healthy but i dont trust what plastics appear to be doing to the brain. The zero g is not BPA free and even though I dont drink or cook with trailer water I figure it's best to find a hose that is.

Also not sure how the zero g is affected by heat. Sometimes that is a big contributor to bad chemicals leaching into water.
