I haven't looked for myself yet, but does anyone know where I can get a
fresh water fill hose? It's like a raditor hose, but is about 3" and clear.
Mine is filled with scale and crud. I might be able to clean it, but was
certain that someone on the list has replaced theirs. Ideas for possible
altermatives to the stock type hose will be appreciated as well.

Thank you,

I've noticed that Home Depot seems to have a good selection of corrugated hose like that but 3" seems a bit large--maybe they changed during the years.

Yeah, I over-estimated. OD is 2.5". Thanks.

McMaster-Carr has them (www.mcmaster.com). Try part number 5233K83. Available in 2 and 5 foot lengths, as well as longer if needed.

When I was looking, none of the local sources had the hose in such large diameters.

Wal-Mart, as well as virtually any RV store sells
white drinking-water-safe hose for the purpose.

Wal-Mart is definitely cheaper in most cases.

That's where I get mine for RV and boat.

3"??? These are normally same size as "garden"
hoses with identical sized fittings.

Or are you talking about the small spout that
is clear and fits on the end of a regular hose?

They are also at Wal-Mart, usually "Camco" brand.

No, I think he is talking about the large hose running from the inside of the service fitting to accross the coach and down into the tank.

Thanks, this may be it. 5233K79. My initial guesstimate was wrong.

I found some at a local farm supply store. I took a section of my old one in and they had something that was very similar.

Mine was pretty nasty, For starters I soaked it in a 5 gallon bucket with
some bleach. It cleaned up, but it is still yellowed. I have seen similar
hoses that HD will cut to length. Not sure if they have 2.5 - 3".

Camping world has it but it is really expensive. Instead, I used 1" Flexible PVC tubing from Home depot (also called spa tubing as it is used in jacuzzi tubs). It is smooth inside, which I like better for cleanliness anyway. I heated and flared the end that goes to the side of the coach, and I had a proper sized hose barb on my custom made tank on the other end. JWID.
