van exit port for hose/reel
« on: January 10, 2015, 06:47:03 pm »
Hi everyone.
Remember one of you guys made a hole in van floor to pull hose through
Also had metal hose wheel feeder which looked great for reeling in and out hose.

I lift hose reel in and out for my work but interested to see where you guys cut holes in your vans and if there are wfp suppliers that do this for you (I live in essex)

Thanks lee.

Any pictures ?
Don't think most would mind too much a hole in floor. It can be boarded over. A hole cut in side of van  :o would look good. Then the problem if van faces wrong way. You would have to wrap hose round van

Why not unless your planning to pack the job in a van is just another piece of equipment, and why would it look wack
all you need is a Zadi water filler that's used on a camper van ( check ebay for picture ) you just feed the hose through
and put the cap back on when the days work is done.

Hi Johnboy
is that two roller guides you use ?
one in the floor and then one at 90 degrees under the bumper ?
is there a reason for that ? - prevents snagging on tyres if you have to pull hose around the side of the van perhaps ?
I see that gardiners sell one that could be fitted through the floor, was considering it.
would appreciate your opinion or experience using one.
