i think most of us carry them on a rack on the inside or a rack hanging from the roof on the inside. Or you could have the pole with the brush at the back, with the hose running along side it with some stretchy straps holding it on, or make up a little clamp bracket from bits from the local diy.

This is a ready made one or you can buy plastic soil pipe and all the fittings and make one for yourself

Hi Tolzy82,
 I just got a drainpipe from b & Q and tied it on top of my roof rack with jubilee clips. you can get a rubber stopper that fits into the drainpipe at either end. You have the brush end poking out at the rear of the car or van. It's worked great for 6 months - no probs. Cost me about £20 quid in total.

Is the pole carrier still looking for a home please Jeff?
