Search for

fairlead winch on ebay. Prices range from £7 - £50 depending on what spec you want.

I have currently been using 6 of these, and highly rate them.

Pure has his setup working using those guides that Gardiner sells.

Tim who I haven't seen on here for a long time did a couple of vans and they worked fine. The first was in 2009 (Berlingo)

and the second was a new Dispatch van a few years ago now I would guess.

You need to do a search for his thread.

This was from his second van conversion

Some local windies purchased the roller guides he used inside the van for outside and I'm afraid that they don't work. It appears that once the angle on those smaller fairleads becomes too great, the hose you are reeling in no longer roller around the rollers. It seems to flatten and makes reeling the hose in much more difficult.

I now use a combination of two of the guides I bought from Turning point,  they work perfectly,  so now I work with doors locked and a fixed hose reel
I got the ideas from posts on here
