Review on Camco 35Ft Premium Drinking Water by Phil Anderson

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Very, very tough for temperatures below 45F (7C).

We do not use drinking water hoses when camping in car parks, only for showering and washing dishes. We use bottled water (from the home plumbing system) for drinking, so I cannot comment on the taste of the water from this hose. The design seems good but we only use them for 2 weeks maybe 8 times a year. I do NOT recommend using these hoses if you need to store them in your RV if you disconnect them when the temperature is below about 45°F (7°C). I recently attempted to roll up this storage hose in my RV when the temperature was 3.3C. With some effort, I managed to bend the hose with no visible damage, but he insisted on getting it back to a straight position. I gave up after 10 minutes and hung the hose unfolded on my roof ladder, securing only one bend with elastic cords. Later on when I was out and about, after the temperature had risen, I was able to roll it up and store it neatly. Next time I'll use an electrically heated hose, even if the cold doesn't drop below zero.
