It may just be my eye sight but they don't look very strong at all and it looks like you've fitted them in to your van securely so why not invest in good, strong hosereels??

If they're not the flimsy type of hose reels I think they are please correct me and I'll shut up ;D

Post by: LWC on March 14, 2012, 07:07:31 pm: Hey mls, i have had the metal hose reels in the past and dont find them very hard wearing at all. These are hoselock ones, had them years and wouldnt use anything else now, cheap they maybe but are really hard wearing and from my experience never break. In and out all day long has alot of wear on them and these ones seem to hold up to the job.

I had these in my last van but honestly dont rate them much...theyre ok but need something a bit 'arder

The metal secureing bracket actually broke on this one lol

Black hose is tidy enough, i put signs out where needed etc.

Post by: DG Cleaning on March 15, 2012, 01:17:28 am: How long will the 350L tank last on a 2 person set up? I only ask because I'm setting up with a 400L tank and wondered if it would be enough for 2 of us
Title: Re: My setups almost finished
Post by: Total shine cleaning services on March 15, 2012, 06:58:41 am: 400l lasts me as a single operator about 6-7 hours, if u kept flow rate down and were just doing maintenance cleans you could possibly improve that, trad bottoms..?
