I've got a second reel I take in & out of the van. I just use the 1" wide plastic pipe clips. You can get them from B&B etc. I just take out the nail they come with,drill out the hole so a decent sized screw can be put in, then screw it to my van floor, x4.

I fitted my reels to.the floor with these last weekend I put 6 on each reel 3 on each side it's solid at the moment I just hope it lasts...If it don't I will try cable ties  ;)

They should last for ever, mine are different clips to the ones in the link, but same style, and they've been solid for a year

I used the brass ones from BnQ  Jakey but I'm pretty sure they're the same as the ones you put in the link....mine were quite bendy which is why I'm unsure if they will hold.

The ones on my video are steel brackets with multiple screw holes, they are adjustable, so really clamp down on the hose reel frame, I can't seem to find them anywhere to show a pic!

I didn't use the ones in the link I posted, I just can't find an example of the ones I used!

I have a bracket that you bolt to the van floor and the bolt in type reels slide into place. If you are interested I can post a picture tomorrow?

Held in place when needed with the little screw.  Hose reel can only come back the way and not forward if you come to a sudden stop.
