Hose reels

[Tuffers]

I leave reel in van if its just a front. Normally always put hose on floor. Face direction and keep pulling. The pain is lifting it back in van. I once left it in van, pulled and it fell out and broke

Screw the bottom bars to the ply on the floor with 3 of these http://www.diy.com/departments/polyplumb-grey-pipe-clip-dia22-mm0/178139_BQ.prd easy to prise open so you can take reel out as and when.

It would slow me down too much. Funny I was messing with windows at home today...pulled hose and reel crashed onto floor. Going to sort something out

Can't see how a static hose is any slower to use than taking it out of the van? You still have to walk round corners.

Yes, face the rear towards the property. If your van floor is ply, add another piece slightly bigger than the reel base. Screw it down well.

I left the reel in the van today and it was pretty good. I have bought one of the purpose built metal reels with the long crank/handle. It certainly reeled in easily. Think I will continue to leave it in the van for the time being and see how it goes.

Tuffers I agree

I have my reel strapped to the floor at the back doors ,I usually park the van down a bit from the driveway and start pulling the hose out and hook it under the tow bar and use it as a guide and just pull

Easy !!!!

when i first started my van mount 2 month ago i started to bring reel out because i thought this was the norm, i found out theres no need all the time, just reel enough out, walk to the furthest point with reel, go back and check pathway to make sure reel hose is flat on ground.

controller on and off i clean,

i have a tap on end of reel and one on the hose near brush, both taps come in handy, especially when cleaning ground floor windows.

i ve found out firstly to lock van first then just open rear doors, keeps anyone out of drivers cab,

i was around a back cleaning and i thought the whole of the van is open for anyone to get into,

at least now they cant nick the van when unattended.

i didnt even know i had a radio controlls on my wheel,

its great when you realise life can be easier.

where were we, ha ha

I tried it in van today. Pain winding hose in. When its on the floor I can get behind in and wind fast. No good for the back. It also got a knot in it about 70 mtr out. Don't ask me how. What a pain. Took me ages. Hose was quite hard with the weather which didn't help matters

I have left the reel in the van this week and found it to work out alright. So far, so good as they say.
