Post by: lozsing on March 29, 2016, 08:59:22 pm
do you work with your doors open or have you cut holes in the van floor and fitted rollers.

for those using a fixed reel do you use 2 sets of rollers one in the floor and a second set mounted at 90 degrees

Just have the hose low down on the rear doors, simply close and lock

Fixed reel,no ports just know how much I need on each job
spin it our close door on hose and lock always worked that way

To be fair mostly driveways and someone at fronts someone at rear

But it a fairly good area most time

Citroen Dispatch so to work with the back doors opened would invalid my insurance as you can reach in from
the side doors and unlock the front.
Exterior ports and lift the reel out to use which can be hard on the back.

Does it say it has to be locked? I leave it unlocked all the time with doors open

Yes if your van gets stolen because the doors where not locked then your insurance wont pay out, better still you
might be breaking the law.
I think its alright to leave the back doors unlocked as long as you cant gain access to the cab but obviously anything taken
from the back wont be covered.
