  Gunga WELCOME. Make sure that your water hose is "white" in color as some campgrounds do not permit you to use a colored garden hose for water supply to the trailer.
    We use a water filter as others have mentioned, found it to really help alot when we stay in AZ. with all the minerals in the water out there.   Goose

Yes, because you wash your dishes, have showers and boil water for coffee and tea-and boiling does not remove lead!]]> Fri, 30 Mar 2012 22:11:04 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2465&PID=23296#23296 Water hose : All good suggestions.

Congratulations and welcome Gunga!! Since we are talking water hoses, something else you might consider is a pressure regulator. Don't know how bad the problem is or even if it exists, but this will keep over-pressure from damaging your plumbing.

Welcome!  Agree with all of the above.  I'll add that the problem with many garden water hoses is they contain lead, so if the water has been sitting in them you need to let them run for a minute or two before drinking from them (Consumer Reports did a test years ago and found all this out).  The white drinking water hoses don't have lead.]]> Fri, 30 Mar 2012 11:39:48 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2465&PID=23287#23287 Water hose : I agree totally with tpierce,... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2465&PID=23283#23283 Author: 2Peas-n-Rpod

I agree totally with tpierce, and will add one thing: you might want to get a long hose (25') and also a short one (10' or 15'). If you have hook ups close to your spot, it's nice to have that smaller hose so you don't have to wrestle with the long one. Have some great travels in your new rig!]]> Fri, 30 Mar 2012 10:36:53 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2465&PID=23283#23283 Water hose : Gunga, make sure that the water... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2465&PID=23282#23282 Author: tpierce220

Gunga, make sure that the water hose is the right type--one that is specifically used for drinking water such as http://www.campingworld.com/shopping/product/never-kink-hoses/4343 .  

Also, you may want to get yourself a water filter to attach to the hose.  Water quality can vary from campground to campground.  We've used something like this: http://www.campingworld.com/shopping/item/tastepure-kdfcarbon-water-filter/18478

You can get find everything you need at Wal Mart much cheaper than the prices you'll find at Camping World.

Welcome!
It really does not hurt to carry two 25 foot hoses.  We have needed two lengths once in a while in some campgrounds and once our 25 ' 'blew up' and we came back to find a note on the door from the management saying we had sprung a leak in the hose so they turned off the water.

Thanks for the replies. I did get a starter kit but did not check it that close. I am thinking a 25' collapsible hose is the way to go.]]> Fri, 30 Mar 2012 00:26:37 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2465&PID=23277#23277 Water hose : Congrats on the new Rpod.

Congrats on the new Rpod.  Yes, you will have to provide a hose from the hose bib at your campsite to your trailer.  Also, will have to carry your own sewer disposale pipe if you have a full hookup.  Didn't your dealer provide you with a starter kit which included both.  Or, did you purchase from a private party?]]> Fri, 30 Mar 2012 00:18:27 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2465&PID=23276#23276 Water hose : Welcome, Gunga.

Welcome, Gunga. Yup, it's me from the Tacoma board. You do need a water hose, and make sure it's at a 25 footer or so. Some campgrounds may not have the water or electric hookups too close, although it's not usually a problem with most hook up sites.]]> Fri, 30 Mar 2012 00:17:46 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2465&PID=23275#23275 Water hose : New member here.
