What To Think About When Buying A Drinking Water Hose For Your RV<\/h2>\n

In this review, we will be taking a look at the best RV water hoses that are safe for drinking water, also called potable water.<\/p>\n

While that sounds like an easy task, there are a lot of different choices and water hoses have features, quality, and safety differences.<\/p>\n

I have spent a lot of money on crappy RV drinking water hoses over the years that have ended up leaking, rotting, cracking, etc.<\/p>\n

For that reason, I won\u2019t be comparing the most budget versions or ones that I have tried and thrown away because in my experience they\u2019re budget for a reason.<\/p>\n

What you need to be on the lookout for when buying a hose to fill up your RV with is that it\u2019s drinking water safe.<\/p>\n

If you find a hose that doesn\u2019t mention that it\u2019s safe for drinking water, you should assume that it\u2019s not.<\/p>\n

The most important things we need to look at are if the hose is lead-free, phthalate free, and BPA free. These combinations make them safe for drinking water and food grade hoses.<\/p>\n

As always, you will find answers to the most common questions down in the Frequently Asked Questions at the end of this review.<\/p>\n

Now, let\u2019s take a look at my review of the best RV water hoses.<\/p>\n

Best RV Water Hose Reviews & Info<\/h2>\n

1. Camco Premium RV Drinking Water Hose<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"Camco<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Check Price at Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n

Camco makes several RV water hoses for drinking water, but this is the one I recommend and will review.<\/p>\n

Even though it\u2019s made of PVC, it\u2019s advertised as being lead free, BPA free (click here to read more about BPA<\/a>), phthalate free and doesn’t make water taste like plastic.<\/p>\n

The hose is NSF certified and follows certain standards.<\/p>\n

The reason I chose this one over other Camco camper hoses is because of the strain-relief that has been put on it for better durability.<\/p>\n

It’s also thicker than most. The thickness will make it more tough and durable when dragging it over grass, gravel, and stones without having to worry too much about the wear and tear on it, at least not as quickly as on a thinner hose.<\/p>\n

It comes in several lengths from 4 feet to 50 feet, all of them are \u215d\u201d on the inside diameter.<\/p>\n

That gives you several options for how you want to use your hoses. I have been at campgrounds where a 4 feet hose for the city water connection has been enough.<\/p>\n

Having a short camper water hose is also great for when you need to rinse off your bike or feet quickly near the water source.<\/p>\n

Connecting several hoses is easy to do and I like having two shorter hoses instead of one long one because I never need the same length every time.<\/p>\n

Overall, the Camco Premium RV Drinking Water Hose<\/a> is one of the best simple potable water hoses because it’s a durable choice both for gardens and RVs.<\/p>\n
