Common Concerns Answered
Are the swivel fittings difficult to use?
While some users note the swivel fittings can feel stiff initially, they are designed for a secure connection and typically loosen with use. This initial stiffness contributes to a reliable seal.
Do the storage caps seal tightly?
Occasional reports mention difficulty securing the storage caps tightly. Ensuring the cap threads are clean and engaging them with a firm, straight turn usually resolves this for a secure seal.
Is this hose worth the investment compared to cheaper options?
The initial cost reflects the advanced features like exoskeleton reinforcement and crush-proof TPE construction, which significantly extend the hose's lifespan and prevent common failures. This long-term durability and convenience justify the investment for many RVers.
