Installing RhinoFlex fittings

Well our RhinoFlex hose started leaking and I really liked the type of hose so I removed the fittings and just bought a new length of hose. I found that the fittings are not real easy to screw on to the new hose. They go about half on to the new hose and I can't turn them any further. I tried silicone spray, spray wax, and WD40 and I can't get them to go on any further. Anyone have any tricks?

    Just for future reference for anyone else......I heard back from Camco and they said to use Vasoline. It worked. Thanks to everyone who replied.

    Use silicone grease
    Is that something a hardware store would carry?

    This is a genuine Camco RhinoFlex hose. What will the heat do? Soften it up a little?

    Some hoses are 'Made in China' and aren't 'exactly' the correct diameter. U'll probably have to heat it and force it.

    I've never had that problem, but I'd probably try heating the end of the hose with a hair dryer.
