I'm sure there's a good reason - but my initial looking discloses two basic
types of sanitation hose.

Both claim the same purpose (keep the stuff and the odor inside while on the
way outside), but there's one which is 3x the price of the other.

What's the difference, other than the obvious price? Easier to use? Won't
let the odor/seep through, ever, vs some number of years? Stays whiter in
more conditions?

The difference, in boat money terms, is pretty insignificant, I'd say (some
couple-three hundred bux for the standard 50' roll), but if it's not needed,
I can use that couple-three somewhere else.

Anybody used both (e.g. "148" vs "Sealand") who can give experiential input?

Thanks.

Skip,

Spend the extra money.

The Sealand "Odorsafe" hose is actually from an Aussie company, its real
product name is AVS96. There may be other companies distributing this
hose in the states since I believe they've started to manufacture it
here.

I used a small piece of it when I first rerouted my sanitation system a
few years back. It was the section from the holding tank to the y-valve
so it was constantly bathed in black water. No detectable permeation in
three years. I've now replace nearly all my sanitation runs with the
AVS96 product.

I purchased some a few months ago from Fisheries Supply in Seattle and
it's the same product I've used from Sealand. It's harder to work with
than the Trident hose but well worth the work and investment.

No interest in the product other than a satisfied customer.
