Help Me Find GOOD Fresh Water Hoses
Tired on these junkie water hoses I have been getting. Kinks all the time and leaks at the fittings. Have bought them from Camping World and Walmart. All that I have bought are the same crappy quality...

I agree and this is one area where IMO it's a waste of $$$ to go high end unless you are one of those that are just too hap hazard to treat things correctly.
Except for one small thing ... the high end 1/2" ID polyurethane hose (shown in my link earlier) I bought for use here at the stick house weighs only slightly more than 3 lbs. in a 50' length. The DW REALLY appreciates not having to drag around a 5/8" or 3/4" hose made out of too-heavy material. Been there, done that, way too many years - both at home and when filling the RV during travels.
FWIW, I used to handle miles of hose when I worked on an oil tanker. We used all manner of different hoses for different purposes. When I began working on one tanker, everyone dreaded using the hoses because the storage hadn't been organized. After I organized the storage area and showed a few guys how to handle the hoses, it all became a lot easier.
