Any recommendations out there for a good no-kink hose for accessing shore water supply? Also, does the hose need to be "drink-safe" as in no lead in the content?

I bought a Camco brand at wally world that seems to be pretty good about staying kink free.
I think most folks say we should use a drink safe white hose......LOL, but I gotta wonder ! I, like a lot of folks grew up drinking out of the garden hose, and have done it all my life !
But....whatever, I have a white, safe hose now for my travel trailer....

I bought this one and am happy so far. It's 5/8" rather than the smaller 1/2" you usually find.

I bought a brand that was reinforced to NEVER kink and it does. Wal-Mart.
Cheap one almost blew up at Disney World. Swore to buy a really good one and still got taken.

I bought the cheap one at Wally world, it looks horrible when you try to wrap it nicely, but when you turn on the water, all the kinks go away...

Many years ago our water hose was made in the USA from rubber and tasted like it. 
In steps China who seem to like to use lead in the manufacturing process for everything including the latest kids shoes.

If you find a hose that actually doesn't kink then you're in the high rent district of hoses. There's some industrial hoses that don't kink, so they say, but I've never found anything that the regular retail stores sell that won't kink. And I always had a problem paying a few hundred dollars for a garden hose, drinking water hose for the trailer, or any hose for that matter so I guess I'll just battle the kinks forever and at my age that can't be all that much longer. In fact I don't even buy green bananas any more.
