I've been wanting to do this for a while now. Finally bought a retractable air hose and converted it to water. I know it wasn't meant for this application, but we don't drink our water (only bottled water) and have a reverse osmosis system with charcoal filter for fridge ice and water. Anyway, 1/4" hose 300 PSI capable with NPT adapters to connect to spigots. Works like a charm. Plenty of water volume/flow and pressure. And when I'm done, I just unhook and retract! Highly recommend this. 50 foot hose on retractable reel (Kobalt) at Lowes for $59. I will buy two more. One for my onboard pancake compressor (hose will come out of old water inlet on side of coach for original bathroom) and one for a watering hose to wash our car, wash the coach, etc.
