Hey Gil! The Camco RV Drinking Water Hose # CAM22763 has reinforced PVC construction to resist kinking and collapsing during normal use. However, it isn't completely non-collapsible, so it can still flatten if bent sharply or subjected to suction or crushing force.

Do you have a specific application that requires a non-collapsible design?

Hey Robin, I'm looking for a hose that I can use to pull antifreeze from a bucket to winterize my trailer. 4ft length. Thanks for your help. Gil

@Gil got it! If you're planning to draw antifreeze directly through your RV's water pump, I'd use a short reinforced suction hose so it won't collapse under vacuum. You can pick up a 4' section at your local hardware store to match the connection on your pump.

I use my 4’ and 6’ hoses to pump water from a portable water jug into my trailer. Neither has collapsed and work great.

@James that's good to hear! Gil is actually looking to use the hose to draw antifreeze from a bucket for winterizing, so your experience is especially helpful. I appreciate you sharing!
