My Hose History.
Started with Camco, plus the el-cheapo the dealer tossed in at the sale (May 2005)
Usually used the Camco save for very rare occasions where the dealer hose was just the right length
Got a Rinoflex... And then another Rinoflex... Never lived up to the hype in my opinion,,,
NOTE: a product called GOOP is fantastic for pin hole leaks.. Sticks to most everything (Fingers included) peals off fairly easily if you want it to, not so easily if you don't... Imperfious to most, if not all, of what goes down the hose.
Finally got a Tethford Smart Hose (no longer made) very nice, But the hose has "Cam lock" ends and comes with adapters that initally were the devil to lock on... Later uses were easier.. .LOST a part however (The screw 9into the ground part)
NOTE.. It too developed a pin hole leak but that may have been MY FAULT.. long story and only suspect. Again, GOOPED it.
NOTE 2: This hose (and the net) do not collasp as much as others I've had.. In myu 9 Foot fence post I can only put one 15 (or 20 perhaps) foot Smart hose (or the next one) I can not put both of 'em in one post (more on that later.
Since I lost the outlet (nozzle) end I wound cutting the cam lock off htat part and adding a male bayonet fitting
Called Tethford trying to get a new scrw in part.. No joy but they told me they would send me "The Sentenal" hose free,, Seems there 9is a silent recall on the smart hose.
Got it. On this the hose is teh same as the smart hose but no cam locks
The female (RV) end is different, instead of just the shore piece it is a fiarly long "Necked' piece giving a lot better grip for attaching and detaching.. The "Ground end" of the hose is a male bayonet and the screw in adapter has the female part. (Which is what I 'm using now with the "Smart Hose" till I wear it out.
The Sentenal hose... is currently stored (Brand new) save for the ground adapter... In the box it came in.
Short of Drain master or Waste master.... (Over $100.00) the best hoses I've seen are these Tetford ones.
Oh Almost forgot..... The "El-Cheapo" free hose that came with the rig.....
When I blew the engine back in 2014.. Where the tow truck dropped me it was the EXACT length I needed... So for the next 3 years in the S.E. Ga Sun..... I occasionally put a dab or 2 of Goop on a leak.
And then when I next called the Tow truck to haul it to the shop for a replacement engine.
The hose shattered in my hands, I sweptd up the pieces and tossed both it and hte Slunky under it in the big metal box with the W/M logo on it for hte mob to dispose of. But it did not leak save for a few small ones over the years.
