I bought this coiled hose based on a recommendation from a RV buddy that uses these. Then I received this unit, I was surprised to see how short it looked. Then we went out on our first camping trip, the hose would not stretch enough to reach the faucet and the RV's water inlet. Most campgrounds have all the Hook-ups towards the back of the RV. My RV has the water inlet towards the front, that's what started the problem. I had to use a standard 25' RV hose that reached without any issues and had plenty of length available to move around. I am sure that a 50' coiled hose would have been enough to reach. From what I could see, the coiled hole could barely be extended to half it's rated length. The hose and fittings were of the highest quality though.If you have your water inlet near the rear of the RV, I would recommend this 25' coiled hose. Otherwise I would not or you should save yourself the troubles and try the 50' version instead.
