On a recent trip to Poolsbrook CC site we had a serviced pitch but found that our standard 5m flat water hose would not reach between the tap and the caravan even with the 'van backed up as far as it would go and keeping the back off-side corner to the peg.
It is only a single axle at 6.78m overall so not excatly long. Althgough I've used the hose on several occasions this is the first time, except in France, when it was too short. I obviously need either a longer hose or an extension.

As we don't drink the water from the caravan tap, cleaning teeth being the nearest thing to this, what would be the problem, if any, in using ordinary garden hose as an extension when needed. I've got plenty of unused PVC hose and the necessary fittings
so I could save myself a bob or two. Any thoughts ?
