how do you secure your hose and reel in the back of the van, as mine seems to want to move around loads, i use to be able to tie it up in the other van but cant in this one,  has any one screwed there to the floor or any thing like that

thought it would have been heavy enough to be stable on some non slip matting?

no moves when i go around corners, i got 100 m of 6 mm

I made a heavy wooden drip tray to stand it in, with a support for the centre spindle where the handle is.  The reel is kept in place with a wire hook over the spindle.  This is heavy enough, with a wide flat base to stay still in almost any situation (same as you - 100m 6mm)

I can operate from inside the van or unclip the wire and lift the reel out.

I can lift the tray out to empty it if it fills up with drips.
