I had to relocate two 30 gallon emergency water barrels and my two 25 ft. hoses didn't reach far enough to refill them. I had a choice of buying another 25 ft. hose and joining the three together of just going for a single 75 foot hose. I opted for the latter and I'm glad I did. The original hoses were flimsy ACE Hardware brand (white with a blue stripes) and the end connectors, although kept in the garage, were beginning to corrode. The Camco hose has a much thicker reinforced wall and only cost $14 more than another ACE 25 footer. This is a nice hose and my only complaint is that it was covered in some sticky residue that I had to clean off before using.
