Thanks for the input. It seems to be a draw, some have holes, some don't. I may just buy the quick disconnect fitting and then get a coiled hose from elsewhere. Of course that means I will have to store it elsewhere and storage space is at a premium in my trailer. If I bought the OEM hose I would probably still store it elsewhere to prevent the same damage.
I've never used any solvent on the hose. It seems that it rubs inside the tube as I am traveling.
I tried an air hose fitting which looks very similar but it doesn't work.

Yes I know, that is where the picture in my OP is linked from. I probably should have included a link to their site. Thanks anyhow, maybe others didn't know where to get them.
My trailer has the same hose. I use it occassionally and it works great. Works wonderful for my misting system. No leaks other than the usual leak at the hose washer or pressure nozzle they supplied. Once I have one I couldn't do without it, much more convenient than the outdoor shower.
