I need to repair the
water hoses on the van, (blue colour), but I can only get red.
Is there a difference? What is the red for?
Thanks
bill

Bill,
Blue is typically for cold
water and Red is for hot
water if your van has a
water heater.
other than that, the pipes are identical. This type of pipe and fittings are generally of the John Guest brand.
If you are not in a particular hurry, Caravans Plus have a full range of pipe (both blue and red) and fittings you can order online.

Black JG has reportedly better UV protection.

Just make sure it's food grade if use for drinking etc apparently safer for you.
