Camco EVOFlex 4-Ft RV Drinking Water Hose - Features Extra Flexible Design w/Stainless Steel Strain Relief Ends - Lead-Free, BPA-Free and Phthalate-Free - 5/8” ID (22590)

Finally, a flexible hose for RV water that doesn't fight you when you want to store it. This hose is very easy to handle when you want to coil it for storage. I've owned a white Camco (very stiff, especially in cold weather), a blue "Neverkinks" (which ALWAYS kinks) and a Zero g (that burst), so I've had a lot of RV hose experience. This hose is my new favorite!

As a full-time RVer I have purchased many drinking water hoses. After finding out that the inexpensive ones from Wally only last about 6 months before they start leaking where the male fittings are joined. Yes I use a pressure regulator and yes I try using new washers. They only last that long before they develop the same defect. In addition those hoses are a bear to coil if the temp falls below 40. So I thought I would try this Camco hose that stays soft and pliable, made in the USA, and has stainless steel fittings. Sounds great. It was pliable, but after a week the stainless steel male fitting just blew right off the rubber hose in the middle of the night. What a mess. Definitely a design problem. Sending back and going to try another brand. Can't anyone make a quality hose?

Update (5 months later) :The hose is going strong. A white camco hose developed algae inside, but not this one. I suspect the lack of transparency in the blue hose helps control the algae issue.I also cut this 50ft hose to fit my needs. It was better than buying 10/25ft hose sections. No leaks, so no complaints. Still flexible, and no cracks/splits. Hose under 60psi (static). I had the water pressure set to 80psi (static) for over a month and no leaks. I turned it down back to 60psi.I don't even know how to rate "flavor" because I didn't drink out of the hose. Either way, I use this hose in conjunction with a 3-stage water filtration and water softener for my travel trailer. And I don't drink out of the Campground water, so I can't speak to that. I just have three 5-gal Primo Water jugs that I refill at local grocery store.Back to the hose...its super flexible. As long as you're not careless with the hose (I mean real careless), it doesn't kink. I've had this hose under 60psi for several days and it's held up just fine. The hose does expand/stretch slightly under pressure, so it made me worry, but I'm confident that this will hold up just fine. I have not used it in hot weather condition, so I don't know how the hose will be affected by pressure + hot temperature. We'll see, I guess.Since it's the most flexible hose I have, it's been very easy to move it around and route it however I like. So far so good.

I've had every type of RV "drinking water safe" hose available, this one is the best I've found so far. The white Camco is great but is too stiff to coil reasonably if it is less than 100f outside. This blue host coils well at 35f, have not checked @ temps below. It is much more flexible than that Camco "no kink" white hose everyone has. It really does live up to the hype. Machined fittings look to be nickel plated, very high quality with no leaks. Hose is made in USA per the packaging and text on the hose itself. It says "drinking water safe" and for whatever reason I give that statement more weight when hose is made in USA. I have no long term opinion as far as how it holds up in the sun etc, I am just a weekend warrior that is sick of coiling up a stiff hose every time i fill tanks. Even if it has a short life and I have to replace every other year, it is still worth it, and I am not a rich guy.

This is a truly kink free hose that seems very durable. Unfortunately, it has a built in circular pattern that causes it to be wound up in only one direction. The hose has a memory either clockwise or counterclockwise and it will not let it go. That makes it come off the reel in a set of loops, so you have to spin it to get it flat. It operates great and has nice metal fittings,but is a pain to reel.

I'm surprised at quality. It meets what the sales description says.1. Very flexible.2. Because of flexibility, it's not likely to kink or at least not as much as the stiff ones.3. The metal fittings are a real plus. No leaks so far like plastic ones.The only thing in favor of the stiff ones is they have a heavy coating that will help them resist UV damage and will probably last a bit longer. But I would rather own something better for a shorter time than owning something I don't like for a longer.In short, very pleased so far with purchase.

Not too impressed anymore with this hose. It has a soft outer casing and it is very flexible, however it will kink very easily as well. This may not be an issue as long as you have significant pressure in the line to push past the kinks, but if you are attaching to a low pressure drain, it really hinders the flow. My hose developed 3 kinks so far and I've tried several things to correct it without any luck.

It's a water hose safe to drink out of, I use it for washing a black motorcycle which leaves less water spots and doesn't have a chemical smell like some hoses do. Easy hose to handle and roll up but it is NOT a heavy duty commercial type hose but quite sufficient for washing cars, drinking from and filling watering buckets for animals. Any hose constantly left in the direct sun or abused may start to deteriorate.

I really like this hose it is very flexible and easy to roll up. It says very flexible in cold weather. I went camping last weekend and we had some freezing temperature over night and the hose stayed flexible 😊

I am a full time rver and got sick and tired of rolling up my white drinking water hose from camco. When you have a line up behind you at the dump station you do not want to be spending ANY extra time fighting with a hose that kinks and won't roll up nice and small. First time I used this hose it was heavenly. It rolls up nice and small and no kinking. I liked it so much that I now have a 25' and a 10'. Highly recommend.

Have used used other brands (white ) to hard to roll in cool temps always kink and split . Used the green flexzilla brand for the garden in manitoba weather into late fall and it wraps like a charm . Yes more expensive but worth the cost . its a mental health item less anger !!!!

Great product! Looking forward to using it.

Rapport qualité- prix très bien.
