I also have the reels facing the side doors in my new van.

Off to horse racing today, so will have to answer any questions tomorrow ?

(Unless they come in during the next hour lol)

I have a Citroen dispatch which is pretty much the same van as scudo and expert. I have a 600L IBC up against the bulkhead so can't get the hose reels out the side doors. I often find it a pain only being able to take the hosereels out the back doors. If you can it would be good if you had the option of using all your doors, whichever were closer.

To anyone who uses side doors, do you find any problems putting the reel on the pavement with mobility scooters, prams etc trying to get by instead of having it on the road behind the van?

No because my reels are bolted to the sides of the tank.

This is my third van with the reels facing both sides much prefer it.

What way do you work it if you and your worker are both out and need to go to the same side

Figured out I can't anyway having two tank small one for softwashing and jetwashing other for window cleaning,the tanks give me no room to go out the sides so will have to be the rear

Either jake uses the trolley or just bung the end of the 'outer hose' under the van to the other side. Piece of doddle
