Cool Pin Hole Leak!

So just started packing up from campsite and discovered I have a small pin hole in my RV city water hose, which came with the trailer when I bought it.
Question:
Anyone know if this is fixable? I'm hesitant to wrap tape around as I fear it won't last long.
Any suggestions?
Thanks all!

Depending on where the leak is... there are many hose repair fittings available for various size hoses. There are male end repair fittings, female repair fittings and union fittings for a hole somewhere in the middle of the hose.

It is possible you have a VERY inexpensive hose (often supplied by a dealer) and without a pressure regulator, you may fix it and it will leak somewhere else.

Hoses are relatively cheap. Just get a new one. Repair and keep the old one for emergency spare.

Or a combination. Get a new hose and get a male and a female fitting to take out he bad spot and thus giving you 3 hose sizes to use or combine to match your hookup situation.
