- HalmfamilyExplorerZeroG Marine hose for the water, Rhino for the sewer and I have a basic water regulator.
- ScottGNomadYou can spend less on a sewer hose but it wont last nearly as long. Rhino would be my suggestion as well.
A $10 Camco HIGH VOLUME regulator will work fine and is all I have ever used. Some will demand you buy an expensive Watts whole house residential reg. but I have never needed anything like that.
Any good drinking water safe hose will work. The heavier it is the longer it will last though. - GordonThreeExplorerX3 for the Rhino sewer hose.
- jerseyjimExplorerI find just about no difference in how long a sewer hose lasts before some kind of puncture (and leak) occurs. So...i go to WalMart and buy the less expensive hoses. Buy 2. But then you have to purchase the "ends"...plastic things, one for the RV end and the other for the sewer inlet. and they can be difficulty to install...but I've been doing that for 30 years. No biggie. Once they're on, they're on. Move them from hose to hose, they never wear out. Also get a rubber donut. Use that too.l
I have one 10 foot and one 20 ft.
As far as a hose goes, an ordinary garden hose will suffice, altho there are these white(color) hoses that say "drinking water safe"....same price, i think,...Your call.
Water pressure meter....I bought mine (2 of them actually) and only in 3 cg over the years was i advised to use them. Good to have. Bought one at an RV dealer, the other at a cg. - rockhillmanorExplorer

Apparently you haven't tried the Rhino sewr hose! :B
I struggled with and replaced those cheap sewer hose after sewer hose.
Well, I am just real sorry I didn't buy a Rhino sewer hose sooner.
It's rigid, collapsible to stretch or close up depending on what length you need. The couplers/connections go on and off like butter and last forever. And it collapses all the way down for easy storage.
The Rhino sewer kit includes all the connectors you need that are required by some CG's, and IMHO should be used ALL the time as a courtesy to eliminate sewer odor. No need to use a rubber donut.
Made a big difference for me. Can't say enough about this product that does make dumping/hooking up a better experience.
P.S. Can be bought at Walmart also and it is NOT expensive especially if you figure in ALL the connectors are included in the price. :W - skiproExplorerI've had very good luck with the Rhino hose. No leaks and no hassles.
- blownstang01ExplorerKinda beating a dead horse here, but definitely Rhino hose best I've ever used.
- OlddudExplorerBought the adjustable Renator M11-0660R Water Pressure Regulator from Amazon. Cost $40. Old cheapie one failed and made funny noises. (sorry about the large picture - scared me too.)
- lanerdExplorer IIYou know you can opt for cheap, but you'll be replacing often and the cost will eventually exceed that of the more expensive units that will last much longer.
I would not get any hose of lesser quality than the Rhino...there are others that are more expensive and more secure from leaks.
I would not get any regulator of lesser quality than the adjustable type shown above. The in-line "restrictors" limit you to 40 lbs and are prone to fail.
I would not get any drinking water hose of lesser quality than the blue 5/8" non-kinking Camco or Valterra hoses.
You will most definitely pay more initially for these items, but in the long run you will pay less as they will last much longer than the cheap stuff. You've already paid a small fortune for your rv, no need to cheap out now.
My 2 cents..
