Mines bolted into the floor, I wouldn’t advise it to be not secured at all ? If you brake hard or turn a corner, it’ll be rolling around the back of your van

Hi Daz, can I ask you what did you use to screw down your hose reel. Another question, you can’t always park perfectly to the rear, so how do you do when the house is opposite or on the side on the hose reel, thanks. Ben

i just used some screws and washers i had in my toolbox for screwing into the plywood....

wherever i park i just pull enough hose out for the job (onto the ground or in my hand first if the job is in front of the van)
