Water Hose KINKS!!!! Empty Water Hose KINKS!!!!

Post  chuck Fri Nov 27, 2009 8:40 pm

I hate trying to roll up the hose I use to connect the city water.. It's a cheapo one given to me by the RV dealer when I bought my popup. It kinks.. and kinks.. and then kinks some more. Then when I am setting up.. I have to work out the kinks to get it sorta straight.

Anyway.. I bought one of these the other day:

Anybody ever use one? Do they really not kink? By the way mine came from Home Depot.. It's just like this one they sell at Camping World. I think I paid about $12 for my 25 ft hose. I haven't taken it out of the package yet.. so I can't say too much about the kink or no kinking.

How do you guys deal with the water hose? Any special storage or anything?

I have one of the standard white water hoses and I usually do not have too many problems with kinks. Of course I have a filter and pressure reducer on the end. The the pressure reducer acts like a swivel which may reduce the occurace of kinks.

Hey Chuck, I bought a white 25ft RV hose at either lowes or home depot, and I've had no problem with kinking at all. The regular green cheepie hose I used the first time had a bad taste and it kinked.

Yours may be the "Never Kink" brand like I bought.. it is an actual "RV/Marine" drinking water hose,, and it came from HOME DEPOT.

Yikes, not in MY camper. I have impressionable children in there, and it's a PUP. Not much in the way of privacy. Plus, my bride doesn't camp!!! So, again, not in MY camper. Plus, the roof could fall!
