    For a winter drain down system I am making for our caravan , I need a short length of garden hose , about 3 metres, this will be for use only once per year. I looked on trusty old Ebay , and found this .... 15 metres of reinforced hose with fitting ,delivered for £3.
    That can't be right , I could never really trust a hose at that price . :scratch:

      As it's just for occasional use and not rough work then it's worth a try - as long as it's not coming from China. :)
