 van castleWe also carry a 10 and a 25, and have needed both. In fact, at one cg, the hose was barely touching the ground. I was afraid it would rip the connection out of my camper!

 van castleI carry a 10  hose that we use 80% of the time and a 50  hose for those campgrounds that catch me flat footed.[:@]  Only once though.[;)]  I do carry two extension cords for the electric, but I have yet to use them both.

QuoteWynot has a wonderful round thing I would like to have one or 2 of for my hoses and big electric extention.

 The round thing that Paula is referring to is a CordPro.  It s yellow, looks like a big donut, made of pretty indestructable plastic.

 Anyhow, we use it for all of our extension cords, water hoses, etc.  It keeps them clean, tangle free, and works well enough - nothing works as well as the exhibitor demos them, but still it is pretty easy and neat.
 
 I see they show a list of places they re going to be at, we first ran into them at the Woodworking show at the Maryland State Fairgrounds.  Prices are better at the shows than online...
 
 I will warn anyone who gets these, you ll NEED more than one - you ll need it for your extension cords, your freshwater hose, your greywater hose, rope, whatever.

 van castleI have a 25 foot fresh water hose and it has always been more than long enough, probably because it has never been out of the storage box in the camper since I put it in there. We camp at State and County parks all the time and haven t had a site with a water hookup yet. The hose may get used this year though because we have our family reunion/campout at a private campground this time and they have water and electric hookups on each site. I also have a 25 foot 30 amp extension cord that I have never had out of the camper because I have always had plenty of cord with the one on the camper already. (We have had electric hookups at most campgrounds we go to)

 van castleDepends on where we are going to camp. Some places we ve been to before, and know that we can move the camper away from it s " intended"  spot to give us a better view or more privacy. Other times the sites don t have water hookups, but a spring-fed faucet is just a couple hose lengths away. So we carry two 20  hoses and a 10  hose. They don t take up much space in the back of the truck, and weigh next to nothing. I also use the same hoses to flush and fill the pop-up s water tank and HWH at home, so it s just part of the routine.
