...do you keep your garden hoses from leaking and spraying at the connections?
It doesn't matter what garden hose I use, it doesn't matter what spigot I hook-up to, it doesn't matter what the water pressure is, it doesn't matter if I replace the rubber washers or even double stack the rubber washers, there is always dripping and leaking ..... everywhere ..... including the connection end at my camper.... and not just my current camper, but every camper I've ever owned.
This is one reason (of many), why I prefer to fill my fresh water tank and use the on-board pump. I fill my tank and then I turn the campground (or home) water spigot off when filled.
At campgrounds we've visited over the years that had water on site, I see lots and lots and lots of leaky garden hoses connected to the water spigot. Quite obvious they are NOT using their on board water pump and fresh water tank.... which is OK....
But for those of you who stay connected with the garden hose / water spigot turned on 24x7.... what is your secret to keep them from dripping (at both ends)??
