Not new to camping and caravanning but new to motorhome with on board water tank.

What hose should I carry for filling up on site for my motorhome. There is no technical connection on the motorhome just a straight forward filling point rather like a fuel tank filler point under a lockable flap.

I am wondering should I have food grade hose? and what length? are flat hoses OK to save space?

I prefer store flat food grade hose. They are easier to handle and store and there is no risk of tainting the water with unpleasant tastes. The downside, in my view, is even the best store flat hoses have a shorter life than your standard garden hose.

I start off with a 25 meter one but can get by most of the time with just 15 meters which is the current length I have as I have had to shorten it due to failure. Its the second one I have had in 20 years and is in poor condition and I do now need to replace it.

Get yourself a store flat food grade and a collection of tap adapters.
