Hose Woes
I don’t want to camp another season with these super stiff camping world white drinking water hoses. Does anyone have a recommendation for a hose that stays supple when the temperature gets a little bit cold?

We use these:

They still get a bit stiff in the cold, but definitely more manageable than the white ones we used before. I find they're a MUCH better hose all around.

When camping in cold weather I connect my hose to my outside shower, then run hot water through it before I try to coil it up. Works like a charm.

I switched to a Zero G hose last season. Wasn't sure how it would do so I never got rid of my original Camco white one but I had absolutely no issues. Still waiting for something to drop this season but So far so good...

I started using a hose roll when I got a 5er and had enough basement space. I took the top handle off and this has been excellent in keeping the hose orderly and keeps it from kinking. I have tried every hose that says kink free and by the 3rd time using them I have kinks develop. This roller also works great to keep my hands clean in muddy conditions and then just rinse the hose off after rolling it up. Rollers are at all home improvement box stores and inexpensive.
Roller is 19" tall and 24" wide and 14" deep

Those hoses are made mostly of PVC or vinyl. Try to find one that's mostly rubber.

X2 for the Flexzilla. First year was last year, but very sturdy and pliable in all conditions. Safe for drinking water.

I've got to admit, when I first saw the title of this thread "Hose Woes" I thought that the prostitutes were fighting again.
