Title: roller guides without holes in van?
Post by: lee_dewing on December 01, 2017, 01:21:55 pm

Hello.

Has anyone setup a hose reel with roller guides without making holes in the van.

I'm happy to leave van back door ajar.

I have a bulkhead separating cabin from back of van my wfp setup is basic so not flashy 😁

I was thinking of my basic Gardiner hose reel on square base board, pipe clips and Cox right angle roller guide, screwed to the  base board, in front of reel.

Wondered what others have done?

Or is everyone cutting holes out 😲

Thanks lee

This is my setup, I got the roller guide from Pure Freedom (it is good and takes a lot of punishment).
I have a tailgate door at the back though and I tend to use pole hose on my main reel which makes it much easier.

Thanks very much Robbo!

Exactly what I intended to do. (nice to know it works.

Your swivel elbow, is that a Gardiners one?

Nice tidy van mate👍

Hope the Xmas tips are coming in for you😉

I think the swivel elbow is gardeners, can't remember. It's very good, not even a hint of a leak.

Ah, a Toyota hiace.

Got rid of mine in August for a brand new Renault traffic, and must admit,  I miss the hiace.

What size tank did you have in yours? I have a 500 flat but thinking of putting a 650 upright in.
