They are expensive, got mine from Caravans Plus online. I love them!! I have one for each water,sullage and power lead, makes setting up a nd packing up even more of a breeze!
Bigman...........how are the sullage hoses for opening up when in use given they are under low pressure?
The water and power lead I like but they will have to wait until the old ones wear out.
I like the idea of the sullage hose 'cause the old types are a pain to store.

I have the water hose and 3 of the power reels 1 for the van lead 1 for extra extension lead if I want to run power to car etc 1 for TV coax cable if I want to run to onsite TV connect inlieu of van aerial, been told the sullage one dont work that well. I use the standard sullage hose which is cut into 3 sections 1 long, 2 short. simply store them in the chassis rails
Sullage hose not too bad.... when you first buy it you have to lay it out in the sun, it goes from flat to oval. Haven't had too much drama with kinking, have 2 lengths rolled up in it ( and join together ) so when at a park close to outlet just use the short one.

I like the idea of storing them in the chassis rail - seen that a couple of times. How do you keep them from sliding out?
Two lengths are the go and used some large hose joiners with some large tube rubber to join together when needed.
I just used velcro to store in each chassis rail.

I carry my sullage and water hose/filter in one of these
and it then sits in here
and then a smaller one on top with an extra garden hose, if needed, and strapped down
This solves all the mess of leaking and dripping sullage and water hoses.
If anyone's interested, this is the Ebay link for them.

great idea with the hoses in the spare wheel and sulluge within the chassis,i'm doing the mod tomorrow (once i get on ebay tonight and buy the mesh bag), thanks for the idea. this will free up room in the tunnel now for other stuff.
this is the kind of stuff we should be sharing for all to enjopy their expanda's with the family/partners/travelling companion to the maximum. i will need to get some photos on of the tv aireal my 11 yo son made for us, ingenious he is. has been on the new inventors show twice all ready, gets it from his mother that for sure!!!

My 2 short lenghts slide in the same side on top of each other, the longer one on the other side just folded back on itself, never used a strap to hold it yet and it never come out, until my last trip dont think I pushed it in far enough, turning a corner noticed I had a black snake following me
hwell: dont know how long it had been dragging only had minor abrasions on it.I also have one of the hose bags in the pic above, use it for my second standard water hose.
I've been thinking about these flat water hoses and I was wondering if anyone has accidently driven over one when its under pressure? Not saying its something that would happen but just what if.
Also how is everyones fairing with wear and tear?
Sorry another question I also noticed you can buy the reel on its own, does a 20m extension cord fit in the reel if I was to use the lead I already have.

i guess if you run over one under pressure it may split but just a guess, I've had mine for several years now and it's a OK , got to -2 here in Glen Innes last night (from what i was told) still had water flow. and will still roll up if frosted
The small power reel will comfortably hold a 20mtr lead, and from memory the larger one holds 30mtr
Great ideas gents. I have been keeping the hoses in the zippered striped bags but can't wait to look at my chassis channels and get some donut bags.
Wow! I like both storage ideas. The chassis is a great place to store the hose. I think I`ll also have a bit of a tinker and see if I can do the same. Spare wheel storage also another great idea i`ve over looked.
Just when I thought I had it all organised someone pops out a better idea.
Thanks Guys!

My neighbor (d4dazz) put me onto the chassis storage use for the sullage. I have also lined mine with some 32mm PVC piping and can now slide a 10ft fly rod inside the tube for safe storage whilst camping.
