Does anyone know were you can by the food grade hoses that are formed into a coil, like the ones used for some air compressors?? I saw a couple of caravaner's using them but didn't find out were they got them from. Looks like they stretch out 7-10 metres.

The local Home Hardware here has them, only briefly looked at it on Saturday. Only one size and was expensive. I cannot remember the length, and from memory the hose with fittings was just under $100.00. One thing I did not like about it, the hose was transparent. Personally, I *DO NOT* like that self store hose and it damages easily.
There is also some information here others may be interested in on drink water safe hose

Ouch didnt' know they were that dear. Also hadn't realised the food grade hose had come down so much in price. The last time I brought it it cost me close to $20 for 5 metres. Thanks for the info.

Thanks, but I'm in a different state. I'll be going to the local hardware and check out what they have tomorrow. Thanks for the heads up. Will contact you early next year for info on your solar pannels. Plan to have my rig up and running then so will be looking for a couple.
