Hey Guys,
That's about the right amount. Fifty feet of water hose is plenty until it's
not enough.
Then, you'll do like the rest of us, buy some more hose and probably not use
it again until next year, or until someone wants to borrow it, or until
someone runs over the connection and you have to cut it and repair it, or
until you inadvertantly, but permanently put a kink in it that leaks, or
...., or.......
Unfortunately, this is the nature of the beast and comes with the territory.
When the campground owner says, "pick any site and come back to register,"
I try to remember hose length to the spigot as one of my considerations.
For all practical purposes, the spigot in most commercial campgrounds will
be less than 50 feet away.
Of course if you decide to have outside water filters for all incoming water
(sediment and taste), you'll need to make up a short section. Likewise, if
you find it convenient to have another short section for the other side of
your Y (for outside hand washing) - that will mean a second short section.
Choices, choices - preferences, preferences,
Terry
