Picking one
This checklist assumes you have hose storage sorted. Rankquant ranks the cyrico RV Hose Storage, Reinforced RV Sewer Hose Storage and Organization with Two-Way against the rest of its Automotive catalogue by re-centring every review on the reviewer who wrote it — 5 calibrated reviewers on this one — rather than averaging raw stars, which is why a four-star product with tough reviewers can outrank a five-star one. The full product rankings are built the same way.
