I've done it, you need to drill holes in the frame of the van , (box section )
I made a bracket and bolted it to the frame it's a bit of a fiddle but worth it.
If your roof is ply lined you need to remove it.
Hope this helps

Much easier to reel in the hose if you make a shelf and have the reel at waist height.

Smudger gave me the idea, its far better at this height. I am upgrading/upgraded to electric though as although its super easy to wind in, i cant be arsed lol.

Nice!

How does the guy on the right get on reeling in with his left hand, when I tried this it was awful !! I have to have the handles set on the right side only 😖
