Whether you’re a brand new RV owner, or a veteran looking to upgrade, I want to recommend the RV water hose we’ve been using and loving!

There’s a whole bunch of mandatory gear you’ll need when getting set up to RV — power cords, wheel chocks, a sewer hose, and an RV water hose are the essentials you can’t do much without. If you need recommendations to get started, I’ve got a whole list!

But today let’s dive into what we use for an RV water hose. We recently celebrated two years of living in our RV, and we’ve been very happy with the Bigfoot RV water hose we selected. I spent a long time researching water hoses when we first moved in, and I’d love to share why I selected this one with you!

Bigfoot RV Water Hose Pros:

• Food grade hose with no residual taste. I drink a lot of water, and I’m pretty picky about the taste. So I appreciate that this hose doesn’t leave a lingering taste in our water whatsoever.
• Anti-kink. This hose is designed to be anti-kink, which means that it’s easy to coil and uncoil without making a tangled mess. This might sound like a small thing, but when you’re packing and unpacking your hose at least once a week, it is REALLY nice that it’s not getting to be a big mess that messes with the water flow.
• Lightweight. This hose is specifically designed to be 30% more lightweight than its competitors, and full-time RVers know that literally every pound counts when keeping your rig within the manufacturer’s safety specs.
• Spring on one end. The spring protects from flow restriction, which is another useful feature.
• Color. Admittedly, this wouldn’t have made me choose this RV water hose on its own, but it’s a fun benefit. The bright purple hose is unique and pretty cute. We get compliments on it all the time in RV parks!

Bigfoot RV Water Hose Cons:

• Cost. Admittedly, this hose is slightly more expensive than the cheapest options. But when it comes to a water hose for your RV, I’d highly recommend that this not be the place to skimp on. Not only are you drinking/cooking/bathing from it, but you’re hooking and unhooking it frequently. Skimp elsewhere!
• Length. This hose is only 25 feet long, which has been totally sufficient for us in every RV park except one. I wouldn’t want a longer one for everyday use, but just be aware that in some oddly laid out RV parks, you might want some extra length.

If you’re thinking about RV water hose options, you probably also want to be considering the other RV water accessories you’ll need. I would highly recommend you also have an RV water filter to improve water quality and taste, a 90-degree elbow to prevent strain on your RV water valve, and an RV water pressure regulator to protect from high water pressure damage.
