Title: high hose reel
Post by: paul marshall on December 29, 2013, 12:45:39 pm: happy xmas everyone .....im killing myself bending down to reel my hose in so im after a reel that about waist high , looked at gardners brodex and all the other supliers , there are some that are off the floor but still not high enough to save my back ... sometimes I put hose back on van to reel it in and it is so much easier so imagine just standing behind a reel and reeling it in any sensible ideas please

Fix inside your van

Best option by far
